Not Bad May 15, 2008

Pretty nice 90mm refractor telescope, but don't buy the equitorial mount. Get it with an altitude/azimuth mount and you will be much happier.

Celestron 21064 AstroMaster 90 EQ Refractor Telescope
I ordered this telescope for my husband because he likes to watch birds from our highrise windows. The description said it was good for beginning stargazers and good for terrestrial viewing. It arrived very quickly and was easy to set up. So far, we have not been able to focus on anything ... so, everything we see is a big blur ... I am hoping we can adjust this telescope to view objects that are closer than the moon. I am beginning to think I should have purchased a really great pair of binoculars instead.
