I spy with my little eye

We are so excited! Today I bought a telescope for us to gaze into the sky. I had seen this telescope made by Emerson at CVS, Of all places for $14! The children and I really enjoy looking up into the night sky. We are always very fascinated with the beauty of the constellations. However I have always put off buying a telescope because I cringe at the thought of paying out a lot of money for it. In my mind, a good telescope was an expensive telescope.
So, I'll admit it, I originally turned my nose up at it. But for some reason I couldn't get it out of my head. So, today I went and bought it. I figured why not give it a try? I'm sure I'll get my $14 worth.It's a good start. I was pretty impressed with what I was getting for the price:
  1. 50x/100x refractor telescope with adjustable tripod.
  2. A high-quality glass optic.
  3. Interchangeable 50x and 100x lenses.
  4. An adjustable full sized tripod included.

I wonder what amazing sights we will see?

I smell a astronomy project coming up...
