Rated 5 out of 5

Excellent First Scope

I have the original version of this from 1970. It was an 11TE and is probably one of the most underrated telescopes there is. Mine produced excellent images and is so good I restored it with modern coatings and accessories. It is still in use today because it is lightweight and Tasco will continue to provide spare parts 50 years later. 4 1/2" of optics is enough to view both nebulae and planets. I have had this up to 300X useful magnification on clear nights.

Long lasting, quick viewing

Excellent Telescope, have had this identical model (Tasco Tasco 675x 114mm Luminova) for 15+ years now and it has held up well. I liked taking it out and sighting it in to what I wanted to look at in just minutes. I didn't like transporting it as it can be troublesome, as most telescope are. The base is very sturdy, just don't over tighten the leg pieces as you can break the plastic clips, of course mine were 10 years old before they broke.
