Appleblossom Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I have been looking at the Stargazer's Stellarscope (link below) sold by 'The Original Gift Company' but it has no reviews... does anyone know anything about it. Such as, is it any good, etc? TIA http://www.theoriginalgift.co.uk/ogc/stargazers-stellarscope-1985040?cm_mmc=pla-_-google-_-shopping-_-1985040&gclid=CjwKEAjwtNbABRCsqO7J0_uJxWYSJAAiVo5LiED0BjlY7M5vWICO8ueswaRv2KQXOw3oOjvbUjZINxoC7wXw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Not sure how much use it would be, just to my thinking a map of the constellations superimposed on the sky would get in the way of observing the constellations. A wide FoV monocular would seem to be a better option, just cannot see a wide enough field variety. Barr and Stroud do a 10x25 at the same cost but I think something down at 6x would be better. Celestron appear to do a 6x30 monocular at £29 on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I got one of those free with a scope - it's pretty hopeless to be honest with you. A decent planisphere and a red torch would be quite a bit less expensive and much more useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
