A GREAT FIRST TELESCOPE FOR A DECK! . This telescope is a great first scope to set up on a deck to watch the lake and also the stars at night. It's a basic good quality beginner scope. Don't believe me? Feel free....I don't know much about them so I went and did my research to find one to meet my needs.....read about it here like I did! This website also recommends other telescopes for celestial viewing.

Orion Observer 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope Reviews
Very good telescope for the money . It's obviously not a high-end telescope, but for a good starter scope for a kid, it's very good. I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and it nicely resolved the Galilean moons. If you're looking for something heavy-duty, spend more, but for something to buy on a budget, or for a kid you're introducing to astronomy, this is very good.
