Helios/Celestron - Unusual collaboration?

[haitch]

Hmmm, can't see any logo, so maybe not, - any newbies tempted might be well advised to steer clear. Helios and Celestron can be good enough scopes but I don't think this is one.

Probably the only useful thing would be the guide to buying a scope that's included to prevent your next one being such a melon!

I agree - neither a Celestron or a Helios (the earlier brand name for Skywatcher).

Looks like a Seben or similar. Best avoided.

It is same as Optron, Seben, Olivion and others, but definitely nothing to do with Celestron.
