Is it possible to rig this up with a camera to take photographs?

Hi..you may be but I would not recommend it as this telescope is very basic and apart from looking at the moon it is more suitable for daytime use...you would be better off using a scope with a larger aperture and with the camera attachment.

Just purchased this as a present for my Mum, but we're stuggling on how to complete the set-up, with the eye pieces and lenses. Help!

Hello AlisonFirst of all set it up in the daytime. Ensure the small Finder scope is secured on to the main telescope tube. Fit one of the low power eyepiece say 20mm into the rear end of the main tube. Look at a distant object say a church steeple or chimney through the small Finder scope and adjust the scews holding the Finder scope until you have the object e.g church steeple in the centre of the finder scope. Tighten the finder scope screws finger tight only. Do not worry if the steeple is upside down. This is normal.When you have got this correct then look through the main telescope tube. Add the diagonal eyepiece to the existing 20mm eyepiece and the image will be seen the normal way up. Remember this is all done in the daytime. You are now ready to use the telescope at nightime. Try not to disturb the finder scope setting or you will have to do it all again. Bobbo

does any one have instructions for setting up and using this ?

Regret unable to answer your question, this item was bought as a gift, hence we do not have any instructions.

is this telescope ok for a ten year old

We've just bought this one for our seven year old for Christmas do we've not tried it yet but it looks great and not too comicated. From other reviews I think it is a good starter one.
