I ordered a Telescope off of Amazon.com please let me know if its a good one..?

On a rating of 1-5, I would give it a 2. The telescope looks like a half way decent reflector but the images thru the eyepiece all depend on how good the mirrors are in it. I have never heard of Galileo telescopes, so the optics could go either way. If the eyepieces are only a .965 diameter, as this size is usually unusable and I would send it back. 1.25 diameter is the normal size and you can order much more usable eyepieces. The mount does not look like it is that sturdy and that is the most desirable feature of it. Being a beginner, I would send it back, save another $100 and order the Starblast Astro Telescope from Orion Telescopes (www.telelscope.com). It'll be much easier to use and you'll be much happier with the views thru it.
