Good choice for my son's first telescope...2010-01-24
The telescope has been everything that I expected of it. The only thing it lacks is a barlow lens. The 2 included eyepieces work well, and viewing is easily tracked via the red-light. Assembly was not difficult, but I question how this will hold-up over time -- dragging it in and out of the house. We shall see!
Only usable in forrest/desert/mountain areas, no city lights.2010-01-20
As a general rule these telescopes only work well in dark areas with no "light pollution". This particular telescope is not bad quality for the price, but I'm just not sure what you can even do with it. Unless you frequently go camping to areas that are dim and sparsley populated, this is really of no use other than to look at it.
Quick set-up Good viewing2009-10-21
I had real good luck with this product. Set-up was a snap. I actually enjoyed adjusting it. I viewed what appears to be a satelite though looks like a firey ship and is rather startling when you see it for the first time! The picture was clear and easy to follow with all the various easy adjustment settings within reach. I am not a pro, just a backyard watcher but I felt like a pro when I was viewing stars within minutes of my first set-up. I got the added joy of watching my husbands mouth drop when I showed him my first.......flying saucer. "I am personally hoping it was just a satilite but we won't tell him that." It is a good product for the price. There are bigger badder ones out there but they come with a bigger badder price tag to. For the back yard viewer this is a nice scope.
MEADE SUCKS!!!2009-09-21
If you want to buy a telescope go ahead but I really would advise NOT to buy a Meade telescope! Their customer service sucks!!! I bought a Meade telescope which turned out to be a faulty piece. I had it sent back and for that process itself I had to call them 8 times!!! After grovelling at their feet I finally got a UPS label to ship it back to them( the customer support guy told me he would send it and I never got it and finally the 8th time I said I would not hang up the phone untill I had the UPS label in my inbox!). In those two weeks I called them 10 times and each time I got a different story. Some people said they hadnt even got it, some said they did and it was in application, after a week some said it was not even in application and that the product was out of stock, some said it had already been shipped. If I could afford a lawyer I'd sue them.

Meade Rb-60 / 70055Lf 60Mm A-Series Altazimuth Refractor Telescope

This telescope is worthless. Do not buy! It is cheap and mostly made of low grade plastic and the optics are no good, plus the LCD that is part of the telescope is defective.
