There a cheap chinese make and are probably rubbish. Nothing is better than hubble.
You can get a good make telescope for €150-200 and see lots of things. You can't really see the iss because it is moving.

No offence intended here but you need to start thinking about some of the things you hear. If these telescopes were better than hubble then why would NASA bother using hubble any more. Why would they spend millions on designing new components for it and sending shuttles to it for maintenance and upgrades. Surely they'd just de-orbit it and use one of these seben if they really were better than hubble.
