Hello Friend,

    I had recently written about the     New Celestron Omni 102mm Alt Az Refracting telescope.

 How my initial impression of it was that it was one mighty fine telescope.

       Of course there are many different elements of manufacturing that go into making
a quality serious beginners telescope, and one of them is not skimping on the essentials.

     This morning I read a review published in the British astronomy magazine, The Sky at Night
and it looks like this instrument got the Full Monty, in terms of marks.

Here are just some of the highlights:

• Razor sharp optics with good contrast
• Sturdy alt azimuth mount with smooth controls
• minimal play on the focuser, which also has a lock knob
• lightweight and portable
• nice quality Starfinder pro finderscope

 All in all a 4 out of 5 stars review by the editors.

That is enough to make you want to go out and buy a Haggis for Christmas dinner.

Followed by some spotted dick for dessert of course.  

       And to chuck out the jar of marmite for good!

Right, well if you have waited this late to buy someone an excellent holiday gift,(you included)
then get this one while we still have stock.

Clear Skies,

PS Best of all, you don't need to be a respected geezer to afford one of these
     instruments, it is at a budget price.
