Celestron International Telescopes

I bought this scope as a Christmas gift for 3 children ages 8 to 12. Not only do they love but Mom & Dad enjoy it too. I also bought them each a "star" (Shining Stars by Russ) to name and they really get a kick out of looking at their very own stars!

This is my first telescope i bought. It was easy to assemble, only took about 10-15 min. The power is good for a beginner. You can see jupiter's moons and the shadow on venus. If you buy this telescope i suggest getting a new barlow lense because...

This is a good scope - not great. Would not recommend. The focuser was sloppy, too much play. Disassembled it, added more teflon shims, relubed it with silicon and tightened the gear. The tripod, despite it's rugged looks in flimsy. If you have...

The first piece was poor in visibility and has to get replaced with a another one. The other one was having very good visibility since beginning. Difficult to collimate if one does not have proper experience and/or tools. But very good for the...

I bought this telescope for my husband for Father's Day, but ended up giving it to him early. He was always out on the back porch looking at the night sky. After receiving this telescope, I'm not sure he even comes in at night anymore. He loves...

We had a several college students even try to come and help my daughter use this telescope and was still very disapointed in what you could see, we could see the same amount of items with the naked eye if we stood in our back yard, I wished I...

It will show you some of the cooler sites of the...

Pretty nice 90mm refractor telescope, but don't buy the equitorial mount. Get it with an altitude/azimuth mount and you will be much happier.

Itis a wonderful product with minimum cost. I have tried to and have been able to see some spot in the Moon.
Good product.

Amazon has documentation that the seller mailed to wrong address, yet the seller says "to bad so sad". Now I'm stuck with a telescope instead of the intended person.

When I opened the package I was surprised the quality of the product. I went right away to test it in my first night. Due to Florida's terrible rainy days lately it was mostly cloudy yet I was able to see Mars, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's...

This excellent, small, light, extremely portable telescope that I can carry for blocks on my fingers to set up in the darkest place is something I've been waiting to find ever since I bought my first telescope in 1986, 21 years ago for Halley's...

I bought this scope this year.. so far.. the only thing I can see is the moon with the x45 eyepiece, well.. I might say its a good scope for lunar observations. When I saw it.. I was happy.. hoping to see planets. I say Venus, used my barlow lens...

It was cold as heck out, but I've owned my Celestron NexStar 5 SE telescope (my first scope) for three days now and the sky was fairly clear; so out I go. I whip through the Sky Align auto alignment process and then ask the telescope to show me...

I bought this as my first telescope to explore the sky and I am VERY pleased. It's a high quality scope, and the mount and tripod are the kind you get with higher end models. Mine came with an incorrect piece, I contacted the Celestron, and I had...

Celestron Firstscope 114EQ 114mm Reflector Telescope The product came to our home quickly. But when we opened it to inspect it, there were no "quick start" directions as was promised, nor was there the book that was to explain how to put it...

This item was a good buy for our 10-year old, especially at the reduced price I paid. Set up was somewhat difficult for a beginner, and the weights provided were not enough to fully balance the telescope. However, good enough if you keep in mind...

I bought this telescope to replace my Minox spotting scope. Big mistake. I had to return this telescope because the object finder didn't work. When I got the new one, guess what? The objective finder never works! Obviously there is a QA problem...
