Why it works
Seeing the Moon close up with their own eyes is one of those things a 9-year-old does not forget. This 70 mm refractor comes with an aluminium tripod, three eyepieces and a rucksack, so it goes out to the countryside or the terrace without fuss. The phone holder lets them take photos of what they see.
Our verdict
A clear First Communion gift if someone older keeps them company for the first few nights. Without that company it will end up in the cupboard: better the microscope, which is used at home.
They will like it if
- they ask about planets and stars
- there is an adult willing to go out at night
- you have a village or countryside nearby
Bear in mind
- for the first few days it needs an adult to set it up and aim it
- from a city with a lot of light you see the Moon and little else
- it is a beginner model: do not expect magazine photos

- 70 mm lens and 400 mm focal length
- 20x to 100x magnification
