Vega 600 Telescope

Product Description

Both inquisitive young scientist and adults will enjoy investigating the universe through the precision optics of the vega 600. With magnifications from 30x to 150x and rack and pinion focusing, stargazers and nature watchers are rewarded with bright, clear images. Plus it's lightweight and simple to use. All glass optics, 50mm objective lens, 2 eyepieces, 2x image erector, 5 x 24mm finder scope, 50" full-height adjustable tripod, and 2-element achromatic objective lens. Ages 8+.

This telescope's potential is ruined by the tripod. With a decent tripod my kids could enjoy the product. The tripod is so shoddy it fell apart during the first use. Unfotunately, it doesn't look like you can remount the telescope on a standard tripod.

What a waste.


This was a terrible purchase. We took it out of the box
and the weak point is the tripod. You couldn't get it
tight enough to be stable for a child to look through it.

The other thing to note, even though it was purchased
through Amazon, the vendor Fat Brain will only give you
store credit if the box is opened.

They are very nice and polite, but still beware that the
typical Amazon 30 day deal does not work with all outside
vendors.

GeoSafari Talking Telescope

Product Description

Features beautiful images from NASA, built-in storage for all 20 slides, detachable telescope (3x magnification) for on-the-go exploring, and battery-saving automatic shut-off. Two motivating game modes - Facts and Quiz - speak 200 fun facts and questions with realistic sound effects. Requires four "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 11.1" x 10" x 8.4".

We have talking microscope. It's great.
Now we are waiting for next occasion to surprise our 5 and 8 y.o. grandsons.


My son has been asking for this since last Christmas This year we bought it for him and have no regrets. He is fascinated by the slides and retains a lot of the information. The toy is reasonably well-constructed, but we have only had it for a few weeks, so I can't say for sure how well it will hold up to the abuse the kids give it.



The removable telescope does not have good focus. Although the included slides are educational, I don't think kids will want to listen more than once. Also there are not enough "scientific" slides; too many pictures of animals.


This toy is fun for small children who want to pretend to be scientists. I ended up having to order this item directly from the manufacturer 2 days before Christmas because Amazon decided to cancel the order 2 days before Christmas for no apparent reason (stocks were available but apparently Amazon couldn't figure out how to use eHobbies website to order the item.) Since this was an item that my 4 year old had asked for from Santa, you can imagine her disappointment on Christmas day when it didn't make it under the tree.

Vega 360 Telescope

Product Description

20x, 40x and 80x magnifications! With this lightweight and durable telescope, young scientists can explore the natural wonders of the earth or the craters of the moon and beyond. The all-glass optics and magnification from 20x to 80x provide clear, up-close images of birds, animals, distant exotic plants, as well as celestial objects. Plus, it's easy to use and perfect for backyard exploring, camping trips, and vacations. Both children and adults will enjoy hours of discovery and observation fun. Measures 29.3" x 7" x 9.8".

For the price, you can't beat this "spotting" scope as my 4.5 year old calls it. It is lightweight and easy for your young astronomer to move around on their own in exploring outer space. We have shared many nights on our deck looking at the stars and moon and I'm sure we'll enjoy many more with this telescope. Enjoy!


Fast, easy ordering, and received promptly, but Not what I was expecting. Defintely a childs toy. Unless we are doing something wrong you can see the craters on the moon better by eyesight than with telescope. Stars can be seen, but it takes a lot of effort. Nontheless, my child likes
