meade telescope telestar rb 60

Hey guys, anyone own a Meade Telestar RB-60 Telescope?

I've been thinking about buying one to get some idea of how telescopes work, but I have no money at the time of an expensive telescope. I wonder if anyone has a Meade Telestar RB-60 Telescope and whther an individual can see, quite well, DSO, such as nebulae through it. Any help is appreciated, Thanks =)

Do not waste your money on it. It is made by Meade, which is a reputable company but still a piece of junk. I have no one and never have but I can say this because I am familiar with telescopes. You will not be able to see him many DSO at all, since there is not enough openness. This is the diameter of the lens or primary mirror. This telescope is only 60 mm of opening. The smallest I recommend buy a telescope of 4.5 "(114mm) aperture. You may see some galaxies and nebulas with a" 4.5 (which will be a reflector on the road, not a refractor). People who do serious deep space exclusively Dobsonians often use very large for this purpose. For example 10 "or larger. Dobsonians are reflectors.

You may even be lucky enough to find one cheaper if you buy the used.
