Review on Discover the Celestron 31036 AstroMaster LT 76AZ: Awe-Inspiring Views and Stellar Gazing with this Blue Astronomical Telescope by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For the price, it deserves a 6-star bonus rating!

It was perfect for our son's birthday. During the summer he became interested in astronomy, so we gave him this telescope (76AZ) for his birthday. We collected it and examined it for half an hour. I saw two comments about legs being too short. They are ADJUSTABLE. You have to stretch your legs. We actually made most of these for the birthday boy since he is small. But we could stand and watch. And yes, we are of average height. If you are unfamiliar with telescopes, you will find it difficult to get used to seeing things upside down through a telescope. I suggest you practice with it before looking for Saturn. And yes, I could see the rings of Saturn. At first it looks like an elongated patch, but if you look closely you can see the separation between the round part and the rings. We haven't sighted Jupiter yet because it was too late that first night. All in all a great buy and a fantastic deal considering the (relatively) reasonable price. So happy and I highly recommend.
