Telescopes are so overpriced.I mean for a 10" LB i paid 800 euro WHICH IS IN MY COUNTRY ENOUGH TO BUY A USED GOOD-CONDITION CAR and if i want the telescope to be better ill have to get another 200 euros for eyepieces barlows,lightsroud,raci finder,dust cover,maybe even new colliminators i mean... Astronomy is not for all people even if u like it a hell lot like me its for rich americans,russians and other spoilt children... and that makes me angry no wonder todays children dont buy telescopes that cost as much as cars and show limited detail I dont see why the telescope companyes when they want profit dont make them cheaper or atleaset try to make them cheaper no wonder no children are inspired and want to become astronomers. (i am happy with the detail, but most people-everyone are not I have a 70-700 refractor edu-science telescope which is not good at all but it lasted 4 years and i stargazed even though i had to study a lot,each month 3 times atleaset now the tripods broken and meh the telescope wouldnt even hold when it wasnt broken when i aimed it on an object (the tripod was really bad from the start) i had to hold the telescope to keep the image in place and after having all that messing about with that "Department Store Telescope" i am actually happy the tripod broke :D i bought the telescope when i was 11 and had no idea what is a good telescope or a bad telescope. I got it for christmas and on the packet there were wonderfull pictures... it costed 70 euro and no one i let it look through was happy with it when i gave anyone a look at jupiter they said that they can stair into the lightbulb across the street and say its jupiter so u can make out how detailed it was (a point of light brighter than the other stars).Regardless i saw through that telescope: 1 galaxy,8 nebulea,Saturn,Venus,Jupiter,Mars star clusters and so on I was happy with the detail because even though i had to hold the telescope to keep it looking at an object and the object was dancing up and down my arm started to hurt from holding it too long so i holded it with my head and got short glimses of all the things mentioned above which were not perfect but i remembered them and still keep them in my mind today because they were one of a kind observed by me the photons of light at that second form my location only getting into my eye.Out of all of my family i was the only one who actually wanted to look through that telescope and i do not regret asking for that telescope.Why u ask? That telescope even though it was a pain.. made it a challenge and i took that challenge and won it I kept on staring holding it and finding objects (the red dot finder was not ok even after i ajusted it,the batteries ran out after a few days :D) and i did not give up because no chinease telescope is going to stop me from looking at what i want,what i love and read books about, astronomy what i would like to become an astronomer....
