These are the days when people jump around from store to store, trying to get the best bargains. My normal advice for avoiding local retail as a source for telescopes goes double for the thousands of boxes of "product" imported by all the retailers this time of year. Please do NOT buy the super-powered telescope from the department or big-box store. Buy the toaster two aisles down -- at least, you can do something with a toaster.If you want to buy a telescope for that special someone this year, take a look at the recommendations at http://www.ncsf.info/ or ask me here on this blog.
