This is incredible. Most of the cheap "kids" telescopes are junk.
Celestron is one of the best in the telescope field, and I've never seen a truly bad product from them.
For adults? Don't expect to count all the craters in the moon, but for an adult wanting to experiment with the hobby you can't go wrong with this. Buy and you may find your love for our hobby… don't like it and you're just out $80.
Just a warning.. if you fall in LOVE, telescopes get EXPENSIVE lol.
Guessing Walmart is targeting Christmas Gifts on this one.. i may need to snag a few for my siblings so they finally have some interest in my astrophotos 😂

A decent quality mirror is much cheaper to make than a decent quality lens. Buy the cheapest newtonian or dobsonian you can find (which uses mirrors instead of a lens), and you'll be miles better than a walmart refractor. I used a sub-$100 Meade 4501 Newtonian from Sams Club for 15 years before I upgraded to a better telescope, and even my new $600 Orion doesn't completely replace that cheapie Meade.
But the smart decision is to try before you buy. Most areas have an astronomy club that loans 'scopes, and some libraries have them as well. Universities have open telescope viewing days, and private owners often bring their 'scopes to these events so you can look through a lot of different models in one night.
If you're looking for an Xmas present, look up Celestron Firstscope, but order today if you find one. Good quality telescopes have seen multi-month backorders.
