'ALDI' reflector telescope
In the UK Aldi and Lidl often offer cheap refractor and reflector telescopes, complete simple sets with tripod and additional lens sets.
My grandson was recently offered one, which strongly seems to represent a 700 new 'Big Seben' telescope for only BP 30,00 (US$ 42,00).
Has anyone here any experience with such a telescope?
I realize that for so cheap it can not meet a Meade or similar, but is it worth the money for a starting astro-amateur?
In the attic I still have my first refractor telescope set (60/700) which I could give him foc. Transport costs some BP 20,00 (US$ 28,00)
Note : there are only a couple of days to accept this offer, so I would welcome any serious advice.
