Lidl telescope?

steamjetjoe

Its a long shot but I might find the answer in this forum hopefully. The Sunday world newspaper had a special supplement for christmas gifts this year. One of them was a Telescope that lidl are selling for 299 EURO. I have searched high and low but cant find any info on this. So I was just wondering if anybody here has any info on this.

Mods, please move to a more suitable forum if you dont think this belongs here. Thanks:)

What details do they give, any brand or model or even the size and type?

Its not an ETX 90RA /AT or similar is it?

The only detail it gives is, Its a refractor. Its for amateur star-gazers. And its E299. The picture is a white & black telescope mounted on a tripod. I cant make out the writing on the scope?

There seems to be one of these hanging from the tripod. Cant be sure though.

that looks like the meade autostar controller

maybe the telescope is the bresser messier 102 refractor

I know they had them before

I bought the meade ETX-70 in Lidl a couple of years ago. Still use it when good conditions. Got good view of jupiter and its moons this evenin !
