## Description

FirstScope pays tribute to the men and women who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us! In 1609, world-renowned Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, introduced an elementary telescope to the growing astronomy community which sparked interest into the mysterious night sky for centuries to come. Four centuries later, Celestron offers the portable FirstScope Telescope. The FirstScope pays tribute to Galileo Galilei and many of history’s most notable astronomers and scientists by displaying their names around the optical tube. We honor the contributions of these men and women, who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us. The FirstScope is a wonderful keepsake for anyone interested in astronomy. This quality Dobsonian style telescope features a 76mm aperture reflector optical tube. FirstScope is an ideal entry level astronomical telescope. It is very easy to observe with, the user simply navigates the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of their desired object, making the viewing experience a snap! The compact design makes it easy enough to take with you on your next outdoor adventure. FirstScope is also stylish enough to be a decorative fixture on your bookshelf or desk.

Review: Impressive little telescope. - If you're not too ambitious, its a wonderful little gadget. Its small, its neat, its simple, and it looks good, just the sort of thing you would actually use, unless you want to turn your house into an observatory. Its portable, so you can easily take it out into the garden and stick it on a table. Try carrying a normal telescope with a tripod about. You just wouldn't. It'll finish up in the garage collecting dust. The Dobsonian movement is surprisingly simple, but effective. The telescope has an f4 aperture, so it produces bright images. Thats important. But most of all, the engine room as it were is the eyepiece. I immediately bought a Celestron barlow lens - very nice lens - which means I can get much better magnification from the longer focus eyepiece, and any lens down to about 10mm. The 4mm lens is a very small lens to look through especially if you're wearing glasses. Longer focus lenses have wider apertures, and therefore are more comfortable to use. All in all a very worthwhile telescope system. All thats missing, is a clear night sky!
Review: Great starter scope - This is not a powerful telescope, nor does it have particularly good optics. If you want a scope like that, expect to pay hundreds of pounds. However, if you're just looking for a cheap entry-level scope, this one is damn near perfect. It's a great introduction to telescopes, because despite its diminutive size it's a fully-functioning reflector. It comes with two eyepieces which provide 15x and 75x magnification respectively. These fit into a focus mount which can take other, higher quality lenses, should you want to invest later on. It attaches to a stirdy Dobsonion mount, and you can attach a finderscope to the side, should you choose to buy one separately. At 75x magnification, Jupiter appears as a tiny milky-coloured disc accompanied by four pinprick-sized moons. Even in heavily light-polluted skies, I can see two dark bands on the planet's surface. The scope is particularly good for looking at the moon. Considering what you get for the price (£34.00 when I bought it), this scope deserves five stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, do I have to buy any accessories to set the scope up? Or is it ready to go? I'm buying this for a 6 year old is it robust. Thanks st?**
A: Scope is ready to go, all inclusive but you have to choose and insert one of the supplied eyepieces. What do you mean by 'robust'? It's got a fairly weighty base and won't tip over in normal use, but at the end of the day it's a table top scope so can be knocked over if you swing something heavy at it! I bought one for an 8 year old, excellent intro to the night sky but adult help needed at first.

**Q: Is this good for a first telescope? Also are the images upside down?**
A: Easy to use, great first telescope.  My daughter 9 and she sits looking at the moon for ages, images are not upside down.  I'm very impressed.

**Q: My images are out of focus/misty.  Do the lenses or eye pieces need cleaning.  I am aware o the 'focus' wheel but no sharp image - just blurred.**
A: I am having the issue, i cant see anything, it could be the lense isn't strong enough.  i may contact the seller and ask why it isn't working, all i see its blots, :(

**Q: Can you see saturn's rings with this?**
A: Hello, I can honestly say that I was most disappointed with this telescope. A good bit of kit with regard to quality but woefully lacking in power. My personal opinion and advice would be, spend a bit more money on another 'scope and enjoy it. This 'scope is inexpensive and as a result the old saying, 'you get what you pay for' holds good. Can you see Saturn's Rings? Well, I certainly couldn't (even on a clear night) but you probably have much better eyesight than me? Don't waste your money. My mate has a simple optical telescope and although much longer is much better and without costing too much more. Hope that this review helps you make a decision. Steve Groves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good first telescope, adult help needed for younger children
*by G***M on 10 January 2015*

We bought this for our 7 year old daughter. I was initially put off by some of the bad reviews on here, but I really am rather confused by those now we've got it. We've had this since daughter's birthday in April so it's only now with the onset of winter that we've been able to get much use out of it before her bedtime. As other reviewers have said, it is pretty easy to set up ; we have a little stool for daughter and use a taller one for me. Now that clear, cold winter skies are here with their complement of interesting constellations, we're getting quite a lot of use out of it. It's been used tonight to see the Orion Nebula and 3 of Jupiter's four Galilean moons and we've previously used it to look at Mars and the galaxy in Andromeda. To find objects in the sky, I always start with the supplied 20mm eye piece, which has a fairly wide field of view. Even then, it does take a little bit of practice to find things smaller than the moon. Like most telescopes, tilting the scope towards the ground does make whatever you're looking at go up. That also takes a bit of getting used to. Star-finding is a bit of an art - we're so used to the lovely wide field of view which two eyes give us that a first look through a telescope feels a bit like trying to see the entire inside of a house through a letterbox. If you're after suggestions of things to see and how to navigate to interesting things in the sky, one bright star at a time, I'd recommend this simple book 'Signpost to the Stars' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Signpost-The-Stars-George-Philip/dp/0540002143. I have had it since I was little myself and it's served me well. But back to the telescope. Once you've got a star or planet, you can lock the vertical tilt, though there isn't a way to lock the base to stop it going from side to side. At that point, you can swap in the 4mm eyepiece for a close up view, though be careful not to move it all while you do that or jerk it once you look through it. The main shortcoming of this scope is the supplied eyepieces. We've already invested in a Barlow lens which improves the magnification of the 20mm lens quite a lot and leads to a better quality view - we don't really use the 4mm at all. I have seen what other reviewers said about investing in better quality eyepieces and I think we will probably do that soon too. The eyepieces themselves are not awful but they do have a fair amount of chromatic abberation. It would also be nice if there was finer control on the focusing, but those are the only things which have caused me to give four stars instead of five. The pictures on the box could cause misleading expectations - Jupiter is definitely not going to look as good as that - in fact, I think that picture is a famous NASA shot from the Voyager space probe. On the other hand, the Moon looks much better in the scope than the picture on the box and using it at half moon when shadows are best picks out some amazing details. At full moon it is almost too bright and a moon filter might help. Finally, I'd say that if you've bought this for a child and they're below age 9 or 10, you will need to help them locate objects in the night sky or even do it for them. I recommend finding stuff first, lining the scope up, swapping eyepieces if needed and focusing before getting younger children outside. They will get bored (and cold) if they wait outside while you do all the above, especially at first while you're still getting used to finding things too. Even an exciting view in the scope will not be enthused about if your dearest is frozen. I would recommend this scope - as with all telescopes, it will take a bit of investment in time to get the best out of it.
