Small size, big fun: the most affordable real telescope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Celestron FirstScope<\/strong> is the most accessible real telescope there is. The 76 mm mirror with a 300 mm focal length collects over a hundred times more light than the naked eye: lunar craters, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter's moons, and the Orion Nebula are within reach. Fully pre-assembled, weighing about 2 kg, and ready to use in under a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As intended<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The table dobsonian mount moves smoothly horizontally and vertically: intuitively aim at the Moon or a bright star and focus with the 1.25 inch rack-and-pinion focuser. No alignment and no tools needed. The 20mm eyepiece (15x) provides a wide field of view for the lunar disk and star fields, the 4mm eyepiece (75x) tackles higher magnification of bright objects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For whom yes, for whom no<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a first telescope for a child, as a travel scope, or as a gift that really works; its striking design even looks good on a desk or bookshelf. Not for: those who want serious detail of the planets right away; the Cometron version has a better eyepiece set and a finder scope, and a Heritage-100P has greater light-gathering capability. A 10mm eyepiece is the first sensible upgrade for the FirstScope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
