You need to prepare for the purchase of New Year's gifts in advance. Since autumn, listen more carefully to the hints of parents and friends. Accidentally overheard "wishlist" to write in notebooks, phones and other storage devices. By the New Year's Eve weeks, there will probably be several options for gifts for the closest ones. However, some still can't find out what they would like to get. The most difficult thing for me has always been choosing a gift for a loved one. I want to present something original, interesting, but at the same time useful.

And then I remembered how my friend was given a telescope for his thirtieth birthday. He wasn't just happy. He was happy. The news about the gorgeous gift, which, by the way, was presented to him by his wife, flew around all social networks in a few hours. He was envied. And he enthusiastically adjusted his iPhone to the telescope to take a picture of the lunar eclipse.

Yes, astronomy is an entertaining science, just not the one that was taught at school. Well, what an interest to study the stars from the pictures in the textbook!

In general, I thought that the most unusual gift for the New Year could be a telescope. However, a rather large price stopped me. In search of a solution, I searched the Internet and now I present my wonderful find to the readers of Lifehacker: Levenhuk Strike NG telescopes.

These telescopes combine several important qualities:

1. Ease of assembly. In fact, everything works right out of the box.

2. Affordable price.

3. Such a telescope is not a toy at all. It really allows you to watch the stars. The simplest model – Lenehuk Stike 60 NG is suitable for a general overview of constellations, allows you to see craters on the Moon, belts on the disk of Jupiter, phases of Venus, the presence of rings of Saturn. Not bad for a "children's" toy!

I think both adults and children will appreciate such a gift. And you will have a new family entertainment — evening observations of the starry sky.
