Question: John Barton, 4 April 2011 Would this telescope be suitable for children to use as well as adults? Answer: This is a nice beginners telescope. Because of its relatively large mirror it has more light gathering power than most beginners telescopes. This telescope is therefore suitable for both kids as adults.
