Zennox Binoculars
US $26.86
Is this telescope any good?
I bought a zennox high powered telescope from the daily star readers offer for 50 quid,it is 20-60x60.So far there has not been a clear sky for 4 days since i got it.Is this telescope better than ordinary binoculars.
This is a "junk telescope," hardly more than a toy, and will not be very useful for either astronomical or terrestrial viewing. I'd recommend returning it for a refund, if possible, and spending the money on a good 10x50 binocular or a real astronomical telescope.
Here are a few web pages with good information on beginner's telescopes:

For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (Wiley).
You'll get the greatest value for your money with a Newtonian reflector on a Dobsonian mount, such as these:

Buy from a store which specializes in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online; don't buy from department stores, discount stores or eBay as mostly what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try out different telescopes at one of their star parties:
