Digital camera reviews of Meade Rb-60 / 70055Lf 60Mm A-Series Altazimuth Refractor Telescope
Digital camera Review: Awsome Scope
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for an inexpensive telescope and I decided to get this fine looking one. The whole idea was to entertain my children with some peice of junk telescope....weeelll...what I got is crazy..it is way more than what I thought and big...my kids love to use every night. Buy this It is the best for the moneyDigital camera Review: Basic telescope
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the product to use as a spotting scope for my 8" Meade but it was too big. I used the angle viewer to convert the existing spotting scope on the Meade to an angle view. The Rb-60 provides a nice clear view but the mount is not stable enough for sky gazing. The lenses were better than I expected for this price scope. GREAT scope for the price and limited viewing.Digital camera Review: Decent For The Price
Summary: 3 Stars
The item come partially assembled, but it's not difficult to finish setting up. It does take some tweaking in lining up the laser finder and adjusting the acompanying 2 lenses. I can see craters on the moon. The quality is excellent. I still haven't been able to see a planet, but I guess it's because I don't know exactly where to look.
It's not so easy to get the telescope to point to and exact point. That is, after you move it to the point you want, it shifts a little away. So sometimes you have to hold it in place. The manual controls to guide the scope vertically and horizontally aren't smooth enough for ease of use.
I am 5' 7" and I have to sit to use it comfortably, this is because when I'm standing I have to bend over too much to reach the eye-piece, which will be about 4 feet from the ground when the stand is fully extended. The moon look great though!
Digital camera Review: Don't know yet
Summary: 4 Stars
This seems like a great product. Everything is of good quality, but either I'm stupid or you have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to run it. Don't know how to line up the red light that it talks about. I can't even see anything through it - maybe I'm not looking in the right place???? My husband says we'll figure it out. it will be a good lifetime gift.Digital camera Review: Excellent service and product.
Summary: 5 Stars
The telescope was priced surprisingly low, was easy to set up, and arrived in a timely manner. Heartland also sent a $20.00 gift certificate with the purchase, which I have since used to purchase additional items from the catalog. I continue to receive great service from Heartland!
