The AmScope Beginner Astronomer is a compact 360mm refractor on a tripod, sold as a starter kit for kids 10 and up with adult supervision. Two eyepieces (6mm and 20mm) plus a 1.5X erecting tube give a range of magnifications, and the erecting tube lets it be used for daytime viewing as well as the night sky. It also bundles a solar system puzzle and book set and a cleaning kit, which is more extras than most entry-level scopes include. The 50mm aperture is small, so it is a first telescope for the Moon and bright planets rather than deep-sky observing.
