Have you ever seen a close-up photograph of the Moon, with its fascinating cratered landscape? With the Thames & Kosmos My Discovery Telescope, you can investigate the moon's surface, search the night sky for constellations and planets or simply watch the birds at the bird feeder in the backyard! This telescope also lets you see squirrels, deer and other wild animals up close. And, it's great for pretending to be a pirate sailing the seven seas! This 12x magnification power telescope with durable body and quality optics can be used for terrestrial (land) observations as well as astronomical (night sky) observations.
