They are only 15 bucks each so I wonder about the quality, but its a good idea. At 50x its very low power but could make for nice viewing of the moon, Saturn and Jupiter.

It wouldn’t be difficult to exceed the quality of Galileo’s instrument, which, I think, is the point.

I doubt that Saturn will even be a disk. Probably look just like a star. Jupiter will most likely be a small disk with a couple of moons as specks.

From the article, people who have received it are pleased with the quality.
It seems that getting it focused might take a little patience and slow adjustments, but I agree that it could work well for lunar and some planetary viewing.
