15 Hand Held Silver Telescope w/ Leather Case & 12x Magnification -
This 15" silver telescope is crafted from brass with a beautiful silver finish and comes with a leather handle. The telescope will magnify faraway objects and landscapes. The scope extends to a full 15" and then can retract to fit into its own handy carrying case.
The telescope has 12x magnification. It is meant to be a replica of telescopes used long ago by pirates and explorers.
Galileo is credited with inventing the first refracting telescope. Through his understanding of how light passes through a lens, he was able to construct a device that focused on a faraway image and enabled the user to see the image as though it were closer.

This review is from : 15" Hand Held Silver Telescope w/ Leather Case & 12x Magnification
Fun... up close . I have always enjoyed hand-held optics(binoculars, monoculars, spy-glass-type telescopes). I didn't have a great deal of hope for this one, as the price seemed a bit on the low end for anything that would be truly effective.
I was, however, delightfully surprised when I received and (admittedly, after a false start) figured out how to use the unit.
Needless to say, you won't see the astronauts' boot-prints on the moon. You will, however, bring ill-defined but visible objects within range for clear observation. I have been able to use it to find the livestock on my own and neighboring ranges, as well as evaluate wind-storm damage to trees that might possibly endanger said livestock (cattle, horses).
Also, when stabilized in a microphone stand (I am a professional performer), I have been able to do some limited astronomical observation.
The unit is more than worth the price I paid for it, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Enjoy!
