Great for kids - Celestron ExploraScope 100 Speciality Telescope 21032

Great scope to get kids interested in Astronomy, rugged and with the strap VERY mobile. Hard to aim, would be a lot better if it had some form of small finder scope on it or could be added to it. I had to order a collimation tool to try and get it better focused. Optics are onoy poor to average. Ease of use makes up for it. Amazingly stable for the way it is mounted on a friction pressure fit bowl. Images are upright and I have used it very successfully for looking at eagles etc. All in all, a great first scope for kids to see if they are interested or to stimulate their interest. For a cheap scope the useabilty factor is high
Pros: Rugged, Mobile, Ease of Use
Cons: Not that great optics, focus wise. Pretty bright though.
