Celestronfirstscope telescope, black

Q: My 6 year old is interested in astronomy. Would this or the Celestron up close binoculars be better for him?

I bought this for my son when he was 7. He wasn't able to find things on his own. If you get it in place, all of my kids are able to look through the telescope and see what it is positioned on. I believe you will be able to see things closer with this telescope, but your 6 year old will probably need assistance positioning the telescope to see things in the sky. You will also need a table or something to set it on.

Q: Can anyone suggest particular eyepieces that would improve this telescope?

Make sure you get the 1.25" diameter eyepieces! Tele Vue brand eyepieces have earned a great reputation for clarity without distortion. A 2x Barlow extension (by Tele Vue or anyone) would double your viewing options. As for regular eyepieces (like a Plossl), higher magnification for distant viewing, lower mag for the moon. Divide telescope focal length (300 mm for this telescope) by the eyepiece in mm to get magnification. So, the 20mm eyepiece gives 300/20 = 15x magnification. The 4mm gives 300/4 = 75x mag. Add a 2x Barlow extension to those eyepieces gives you the option of 30x and 150x. If you also buy a 30mm Plossl (lower mag for nearer objects), you get 300/30 = 10x mag ... add the 2x Barlow to it and you have 20x mag.

Q: compare TO CELESTRON FUNSCOPE

The Funscope is an Orion scope (not Celestron). The Orion Funscope generally gets better reviews for better quality optical and lenses.

Q: I live in NYC. How much will the city lights affect what I can see?

Light pollution definitely affects a lot. You would be able to get close ups of the moon, and might be able to see faint outlines of the larger planets when they are closest to the earth - but as for any type of deep space viewing (which using this specific scope - I wouldn't think possible), you couldn't do it with such a light polluted area.When I want to really view stars, I take my 8" Dobsonian out camping - even then, I need to take the scope far away from our campfire because the light from the fire distorts viewing to such a large degree.

Superb telescope.

This is one awesome telescope!I bought it for 4.5k inr, and I've had great fun! It's really difficult to get photos from it, but it provides amazing clarity when seen with eye.Craters on the moon are very nicely visible. I can see some sort of colour on Jupiter, but you shouldn't expect to see the banding. 4 Galiean moons are visible as well. Saturn and it's rings are visible as well.While you can see planets through it, you should keep your expectations low. Planets are really far after all. Jun-Aug are the best if you want to see Jupiter and Saturn. Moon is best seen 2-3 days after no moon day.The "Hassle free packaging" is not needed. It costs around 1.5k extra, and my telescope arrived just fine with the normal packaging.
