Is this a good telescope?


I’m buying a used telescope – here is one I foud:

Bushnell Sky Chief III
Made in 1986
700 power
Here’s more info:

It has a 3" lens at the aiming end.,I don’t know much about telescopes,as i said i bought it just for a look at a comet.The eyepieces are removable,i have 2 or 3 eyepieces of different power,and a barlo lens and a 1.5X Erector lens.,also has a sun lens,The telescope and stand weighs i would guess about 30 lbs. To aim the telescope you turn the cable knobs for very sensitive aiming,This was a high end telescope in 1986.Made in Japan. Its a Bushnell Sky Chief III.
I’l sell it for $50.00
Everything is in good condition,
Also, my boyfriend and I are willing to spend money over time to fix it up, buy new things for it.

No. Any telescope being sold on the basis of high magnification is going to be cheap junk. The important specification for a Telescope is its aperture. And 700x is unrealistically high. Also, Bushnell’s astronomical telescopes appear to be an afterthought in their optics line and are easily the worst thing they sell.

Can you take a picture from a camera through a telescope or binoculars?


Can you take pictures of a star by taking it through a telescope?
So you put your camera eye directly in front of the the Telescope. Will it be a clear picture or super blurred?
I just thought this would be convenience if it worked.

Yes it is called a-focal,I have taken photos and video of the Moon like this,you can view on my flicker page-
