My little lad (about to turn 7) has been showing an interest in the space and stars so decided to get him a telescope for christmas. Absolutely no idea what to get i started searching the web - found lots of "toy" scopes and lots of professional scopes - and not knowing my refractor from my powers decided i needed some help...

Decided to give one of my google hits a ring as they had a shop not too far away from me...

http://www.telescopehouse.co.uk

Explained my predicament to the very knowledgable man and he pointed me at this.... (After I explained my budget)

Meade DS-2070AT 70mm Refractor

What is amazing about this scope is that it has a handheld computer attached with a database of over 1400 things in the sky - and when you select for instance Saturn - it automatically by motor control aligns and then tracks it (great for kids)

It has features like "Best of" where by it gives a guided tour of the night sky for that particular time,date, location - all with automatic alignment etc.

Couldn't have asked for more for the kids.

Now the best bit..... The are only charging £149 (Nearly half the price of my other google hits) this INCLUDES courier delivery and when i opened the box up inside they'd thrown in a pocket size pair of 10X25 bonoculars for free !!! (Not cheap ones either - made of metal)

By the way the scope arrived less than 24 hours after my telephone conversation with them !!

Take a look I am VERY impressed
