This review is from: Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope
First of all I’ve just started amature astronomy this year so I’ve never owned a telescope, I’ve been applying a 15×70 celestron binocular on a tripod. I’ve had the Celestron Firstscope for a couple of weeks now and I’ve been please with it..considering how much I paid for it (big bang for the buck). Anyway, I know a lot of people suggest not to invest in the accessory but one thing I learn when I attended a star party prior to purchasing this telescope is Finder Scope is incredibly useful/important when trying to align your scope having a specific object. So I did buy the accessory, and I’m glad I did. Despite the fact that it’s true that using the finder scope is tricky to use if you have the telescope on best of a table or the ground, so what I did is I seem around my house which is tall enough that I can put it on best and I discovered an old cd rack within the garage that is about 5 feet tall. It was incredibly sturdy and produced making use of the telescope so easy using the finder scope.
While using the eyepiece that came while using telescope and accessory everybody who said that they’re useless…they are correct, those sort of eyepiece are genuinely tough to seem into and may perhaps disappoint you. So what I did is I baught a 2x Barlow and a 25mm plossl eyepeice from Orion as well as the diffrence are night and day, while using the eyepiece I purchase it made field of view very much clear, crisp and I saw far more stars. So far I’ve been out observing and star gazing as significantly as I could and as a great deal as the weather permits. The moon by means of this telescope while using 25mm and 2x barlow eypiece looks awesome the craters are incredibly clear, mars look like a tiny orange dot and saturn…so far same as mars appearance like a dot maybe using a medium or higher power eyepiece I might be able to see saturns ring. Overall great acquire specially for a starter like me, I will most likely use this until I’m ready to move to the next level at least now I can save up to a much powerful and high priced telescope.
