Beginners Telescopes, Page 2
    Finding a decent starter telescope has long been a problem.  The vast majority of them are made for mass merchandisers and the primary criterion has been to provide them as cheaply as possible.  Almost all are made of plastic.  Finally, after years of searching, we have found some really good low price telescopes for kids and other beginners.  These are the Konus Telescopes.  They are made in Italy and Galileo would be proud of his countrymen's products.  Characterized by high quality components such as glass lens and heavy tubes, they offer excellent value at an affordable price.  We highly recommend them.
