      Comments about Bushnell® 78 8831 Northstar® 3" Talking Reflector Telescope:

      This telescope is so difficult to understand and use that it is sitting in a closet. It seems to work in the day time but cannot see anything at night.

      Comments about Bushnell® 78 8831 Northstar® 3" Talking Reflector Telescope:

      If the website doesn't show the focal lengths of the lenses, then how will I know if I'm buying a telescope that has 10X or 1000X magnification? Also, don't be fooled. A telescope's maximum power is 60 multiplied by the diameter of the primary objective or mirror (in inches) Therefore, even if you "can" get, let's say 600X out of this telescope, it's going to be blurry
