Telescopes

I bought this scope for my neighbor's kids as a Christmas present. They (along with their dad) had very little experience with telescopes, so I expected it would take some time (along with a little help from me) to get this scope up and running....

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...

This is a great telescope for many reasons. First, it is very easy to use. Most telescopes out there, even if they are computerized, are still difficult to align to the night sky before beginning use. The Nexstar 4SE with the sky align makes it...

I got one of these for my birthday in 2000, and have used it on and off. I only go out and use it (if you'll pardon the pun) once in a blue moon. I lack the funds and time involved to bother with buying a more expensive telescope so I just stick...

I have had the Tele-vue 101 (about the same as the NP) for over 6 years. I know it has a better sky view than the 12 inch Griffith Park observatory telescope. I showed it to people with 8 to 10-inch telescopes and they almost got down on their...
