My sis just sent me a pic of a telescope her mate gave her because he was moving and didn't want it!!!!!

Can someone let me know what this is cus she can't see any labels on it

[Nick82]

Looks quite small so I don't know whether it'll be any good

Zennox from what I can tell are from the same family as the Seben telescopes - they aren't going to win any awards, but can be a very cheap (or in this case free!) introduction.

If the hobby bites, there's a whole lot of better scopes out there to consider

It's a Zennox 60mm refractor with a focal length of 900mm so a focal ratio of F/15.

The moon will look nice and Jupiter will show it's 4 brightest moons and a couple of cloud belts. You will be able see that Saturn has rings and that some stars are doubles.

Many folks got started in the hobby with scopes like this so the price tag of £0 makes it a bit of a bargain !
