Digital camera reviews of Meade Rb-60 / 70055Lf 60Mm A-Series Altazimuth Refractor Telescope
Digital camera Review: MEADE SUCKS!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Meade RB-60 Refractor Telescope
Summary: 5 Stars
At the price this is an absolute steal. I own several telescopes. The optics in this 60mm "spy glass" telescope are really superb for viewing the moon.
All telescopes in this price range suffer from wimpy tripods and this one is no exception.
This is a great buy.
Digital camera Review: Not as powerful as expected.
Summary: 3 Stars
Guess I was expecting more. You can see the moon better than with the naked eye, but you still can't see much. If I knew where Saturn was I'd see if I can see the rings, as advertised. It is good for looking at birds in your backyard though.Digital camera Review: Not nearly the quality I thought it would be.
Summary: 1 Stars
All plastic, with the exception of the lens tube and focal adjustment. Even the eyepiece holders, Barlow lens and the 90' diagonal... Plastic. Chose to go with an Orion. I hope this model does not represent the average of Mead's design quality. During use, the flexibility of the all plastic construction allows for too much play in adjustment. Also, a comparatively short life span overall.Digital camera Review: Only usable in forrest/desert/mountain areas, no city lights.
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
