Product Description
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, in celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, 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. Honoring 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; you simply navigate the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of the 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.

 Great amateur telescope September 3, 2010
Tikirocks
It will suprise how stable and clear images this telescope is providing. The images looks clear and if is provided in a stable surfice, the image will not move at all. It is small and can take it almos anywhere. It easy to use (you really don't need the manual). The extras are not really necesary, it depends of how much use you will give it, you will know if you want it when you fist buy the telescope.

Great for Beginners! Gets you looking at the moon and the stars quick and easy. Better packaging was to be desired. Shipped in original box with little padding but it survived. checked it out on arrival and everything was ok.
Awesome Telelscope August 4, 2010
Dominique Inge (Fort Benning, GA)
I bought this item for my son's birthday 7th today and turned out to be an awesome product. The interchangeable lenses make the experience a great one. Will be purchasing the accessory kit that comes separately for the telescope. No issues with shipping and arrived on time for sure.
 Sorry To Say It Sucked For Me August 2, 2010
PaganDeva2000 (Jamacia, NY United States)
I purchased this scope with great anticipation to practice before getting a 'real' one. I hate to say it, I really do, but I couldn't even focus on the moon. The finderscope, in my humble opinion should be placed directly where the eyepiece is while the eyepiece should be on the side...dunno. I was disappointed. Didn't return it, though, because for one, I did take it to a store that told me it works, and I do plan to try again, but, I'm already moving on to an Orion, anyhow.
Good Starter Scope July 26, 2010
K. Williams (Sacramento, CA USA)
This telescope is not a toy, and for the price, you can learn much from it. You will discover, due to the scopes limitations, the importance of a larger aperture and better quality eyepieces. If you put a little time into learning more about the night sky, via a good book or the internet, you will find each clear night an adventure filled with increasingly familiar objects. If you catch the fever, then you will be ready to buy a scope capable of seeing so much more. Don't waste money trying to improve this scope. Learn from it, and then spend your money wisely on something with as large an aperture and the best quality eyepieces you can afford. This starter scope can teach you a lot, and is well worth the small price. Just don't expect to see much very clearly beyond the Moon and Jupiter and 4 of its moons, especially if you live in a city.
