This review is from: Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope
1st of all I’ve just started amature astronomy this year so I’ve never owned a telescope, I’ve been utilizing 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..thinking about how very much I paid for it (big bang for the buck). Anyway, I know a lot of persons suggest not to obtain the accessory but one thing I learn when I attended a star party prior to purchasing this telescope is Finder Scope is quite useful/important when trying to align your scope with a specific object. So I did obtain the accessory, and I’m glad I did. Even though it’s true that employing the finder scope is tricky to use if you have the telescope on top of a table or the ground, so what I did is I glimpse around my house that may be tall enough that I can put it on top and I discovered an old cd rack within the garage that’s about 5 feet tall. It was quite sturdy and made applying the telescope so simple while using finder scope.
Using the eyepiece that came while using telescope and accessory everyone who said that they are useless…they are correct, those sort of eyepiece are really tough to appear into and may 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 much clear, crisp and I saw more stars. So far I’ve been out observing and star gazing as very much as I could and as significantly as the weather permits. The moon via this telescope while using 25mm and 2x barlow eypiece looks awesome the craters are really clear, mars appear like a tiny orange dot and saturn…so far same as mars seem like a dot maybe with a medium or higher power eyepiece I may well be able to see saturns ring. Overall fantastic purchase 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 very much powerful and expensive telescope.
