Description:

The Celestron FirstScope Series was designed with the first-time telescope buyer in mind. Offering exceptional value, these scopes feature compact and portable designs with ample optical performance to excite any newcomer to the world of amateur astronomy. Each telescope has its own design characteristics to help you choose which is best for you. The smaller FirstScopes feature refractor optical designs while the larger aperture models feature Newtonian reflector optical systems. If you want a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the refractor models are for you. Refractors produce bright, clear images of the moon and planets as well. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For better views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, then the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors are a better choice. If your interest is strictly being able to watch for whales or spot birds, then the altazimuth mounting versions are best. If you just want to look at the stars, nebulae, star clusters and planets, then the German Equatorial mounts are a better choice.
