Hi All,
First time posting and apologies for ressurecting an ancient thread, it seemed an appropriate place to post given the topic.
I have a 5 year old and we've had fun looking at stars, watching satellites crossing the sky, identifying a few planets etc by the naked eye and I'm looking to take it to the next level on a budget. I've been offered a Tasco 280 power telescope in the box with tripod etc for £30. Do the good members here think it's a worth while buy for the little one and me? Is it then worth spending a little extra on a better eye piece or just not bother and find something else entirely for £50 max?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
