CELESTRON FirstScope Telescope

The FirstScope telescope is a tribute to the great astronomers and scientists like Galileo Galilei who helped us get closer to understanding the universe. In 1609, Galileo introduced a basic telescope that sparked centuries of interest in the night sky. Now, four centuries later, Celestron presents the portable FirstScope. It pays homage to these pioneers by displaying their names around the optical tube. This is a great keepsake for astronomy lovers. It's a high - quality Dobsonian style telescope with a 76 mm aperture reflector optical tube, making it an ideal entry - level option. Observing with it is a breeze; just move the tube towards your target in the night sky. Its compact and lightweight table - top design makes it easy to store, transport, and set up. And it's stylish enough to be a great decoration on your bookshelf or desk.

Using the FirstScope telescope is super easy. Just set it up on a stable surface like a table. Then, look through the eyepiece and move the tube in the direction of the object you want to observe in the night sky. When transporting it, make sure to handle it gently as it's a delicate instrument. For storage, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent damage. To maintain it, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the optical tube and eyepiece. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can scratch the lenses. If you're not using it for a long time, consider covering it to protect it from dust.
