Regarding misleading packaging I was going to post:

"It's not as bad as it used to be with 2 inch refractors suggesting X525 POWER! on the box"

But then did a quick Google and they're still at it. Ok with a 4mm eyepiece and a x3 barlow you do get x525 but a complete waste of time.

A friend once brought a broken (red) telescope round he found in a skip and asked if I wanted it for spares. This one had the simple 50mm objective stopped down to 15mm!!! It's all "nice and legal, like" but misleading is an understatement. Especially if the box has a Hubble image of The Andromeda Galaxy on it and a photo of a kid sat next to said piece of junk giving a big thumbs up.
