So, a couple months back, I had some Amazon gift cards and decided to go ahead and get the telescope I'd been eyeballing for my 3 year old daughter. Then, I decided to do the smart thing and went up a step from what I'd been planning on getting. So instead of a 60mm reflector, I got a 100mm reflector.
Specifically, this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Orion-10012-SkyScanner-Reflector-Telescope/dp/B00D05BIIU/This thing is neater than kitten toes. Comes w/ two ocular lenses, giving you 20 and 40 x magnification. Also comes with a little red dot sight for quickly lining up on objects in the sky. It can easily be converted to mount onto a tripod (haven't done that yet). One of the reviews that I had read had mentioned being able to spot Saturn's rings. Personally, I thought someone was exaggerating a bit. But I had hoped it was true. So tonight, while looking to see if the moon was visible from our yard, I pulled out my phone and fired up Google Sky Map. Lo and behold, there's Saturn popping up on my screen. And a quick glance where it was pointing, and sure enough, there was a nice bright object in the sky. So I set up the scope, and popped on the 10mm lens (40x). And there it was. Tiny, but there it was. Saturn, with the rings clearly visible.
So yeah. If you're looking for a nifty little starter scope, especially for younger kids (my daughter was able to look through it and see Saturn, although she didn't really get what the big deal was - but she'll get it as she gets a little older). If you're looking at the full moon, you'll want a moon filter (13% transmission) to avoid it washing out, especially with the 20x lens. But for the price, I was amazed at the optical quality of this little scope. Bright, crisp, and for just over $100, I think it was well worth it.
