Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-03 Summary: Great First Telescope ... I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it -- and so does the whole family. The views of the moon have been absolutely spectacular -- it is the first time I have seen individual craters with my own eyes. We've also gotten glimpses of Jupiter and Saturn -- glimpses only because of high winds and some thin high level clouds. A couple of notes. If you want to look at the moon, you'll need to get a filter. It makes all the difference in the world. I never thought the moon could be too bright, but with ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-02 Summary: My Experience With 127EQ and Celestron tech service ... Bought in Sept09 from a different site. Paid $127.

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-18 Summary: Beginers scope ... This is a beginners telescope it is great for mostlly moon and maybe planetary viewing . As all amature astronomers know eyepieces are a big part of how well a telescope performs optically, unfortunately lower priced telescopes like this one have poor quality eyepieces included. Personally i would not pay more than 100.00 including shipping for this particular model. If you want a real telescope check out the celestron nexstar SE models 5 & above. Pros: very good moon views Decent tripod Nice apperture size All metal ...more

The Hound of the Baskervilles (Wordsworth Classics)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-11 Summary: My Dear Watson ... Interesting from the first page. There's already a mystery to be solved right when you open the book, with a mysterious cane left in Watson and Sherlock's office. Doyle keeps each page filled with suspense and thrills. Even as I read, I could hear the low, mournful sound of the hound that Stapleton keeps locked up baying across the moor. The characters are amazing and funny. Sherlock Holmes keeps me giggling with all of his oddities and eccentrities. Watson is amusing with his normal assumptions next to Sherlock. The ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | The Hound of the Baskervilles is the classic detective chiller. It features the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, in his most challenging case. The Baskerville family is haunted by a phantom beast "with blazing eyes and dripping jaws" which roams the mist-enshrouded moors around the isolated Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor. Now the hound seems to be stalking young Sir Henry, the new master of the Baskerville estate. Is this devilish spectre the manifestation of the family curse?...more
[2] ... Review | We owe 1902's The Hound of the Baskervilles to Arthur Conan Doyle's good friend Fletcher "Bobbles" Robinson, who took him to visit some scary English moors and prehistoric ruins, and told him marvelous local legends about escaped prisoners and a 17th-century aristocrat who fell afoul of the family dog. Doyle transmogrified the legend: generations ago, a hound of hell tore out the throat of devilish Hugo Baskerville on the moonlit moor. Poor, accursed Baskerville Hall now has another mysterious death:...more
