## Questions & Answers

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

    Great little telescope!
  

*by F***P on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011*

I see right now that it's listed at $25.00. That's a steal. This product is great for people just starting out. Easy to use. Very sturdy base. Just look down the barrel toward your target just a little below it. Then, swivel back and forth, raise a little, swivel again, etc, and you will find it pretty quickly. The lenses that come with it are adequate to see detailed looks at the moon, Jupiter's moons (won't see Jupiter's bands)and can see the easy nebulae and double stars. I haven't tried it yet on Saturn's rings, although I suspect the rings would be difficult to see if you weren't in pristine conditions.You could order this for $25.00 and stop. If you wanted to upgrade to Plossl lenses, (I did), I would recomend a 20-25 mm which makes finding objects a total snap. I would also recommend a 12.5 mm and maybe a 6 mm. I tried a 4 mm plossl to try and see Jupiter's bands and the telescope simply could not focus enough to use it. I had the same experience trying Barlow lenses. Simply couldn't focus except with the 20 mm. I read somewhere that Celestron had a certain Barlow of their own that would work on this telescope, but don't order any other ones just for this telescope, because it probably won't work.A neighbor who was moving gave me his deceased father in law's Celestron 60 EQ Refractor. I tried the 12.5 Plossl and could see Saturn's rings clearly with it. I doubt you could see that with the FirstScope, although, like I said, I haven't tried it on Saturn yet. The plossls sure came in handy on that free scope. Not sure it's worth the money or not to get plossls just for the firstscope, although they do make the viewing experience significantly better with clearer views and much bigger lense holes to look through. The ones that come with it aren't bad, though. They are adequate.For the price, you can't beat this scope. It's very portable and lightweight also. Great for taking on trips to places with no light pollution. Would easily fit in a carry on bag for an airline. I highly recommend it.Update: I determined that the secondary mirror collimation was a little off. The directions online show you to align it with your eyeball (looking through eyepiece holder with no eyepiece. However, that doesn't get it perfect, and if you want to see Saturn's rings or the bands of Jupiter, it needs to be perfect. I used a collimation cap that came with another telescope and I got it aligned perfectly. A huge improvement. It's really hard to find a collimation cap to buy though. I only see laser collimaters for sale, and they are much too expensive if this is the only Reflector Scope you own.

    First telescope, great for kids.
  

*by L***F on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2013*

I'll be honest this is my first telescope. So this review might not have the experience that others may offer, but it does offer an insight from a person who’s new to it.I purchased this telescope as a gift for my daughter.  She is 7 years old and is always intrigued by the stars.  She loves the opportunity we get to take it out to the backyard and stare are the moon and stars.  This telescope has given my quality time that I love and for that it’s worth every cent I spent.Here is where my lack of experience might be hindering.  The telescope offers a great view of the moon.  I do notice that it’s very bright and I assume that it why I want to purchase the moon filter for it.  Should this have been included, the filter isn’t that expensive to begin with and most of use amateurs are unaware we need it.  Now when I look at the nearby easy to spot planets is where I think this telescope really lacks.  To me they still look like normal white stars when I look at them through the telescope.  I expected to see something a little different than what I saw.  As I said earlier, I have enjoyed the time I spent with my child using this.With all this in mind, if you’re purchasing this for your child I would recommend the telescope.  I have had lots of fun with it.  If you’re purchasing it for yourself then you might want to look elsewhere, it wasn’t as much fun for me looking at the planets with it.

    I Can't Believe How Good It Is For The Price
  

*by R***1 on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2011*

I've been wanting to purchase a telescope for quite some time but I wasn't ready to plunk down big bucks without being absolutely certain I'd use it.  To that end, I decided to start small and go from there.  Unfortunately the choices are very slim for scopes under $100 and the pieces of junk you find in most retail stores are, well, junk.Enter Celestron and its model 21024 FirstScope.  Before going any further let me stress how inexpensive this scope is -- twenty five dollars.  That's it!  Twenty five dollars buys you this scope with two eyepieces.  Even if you only end up using it once, it is money well spent.  But despite the price, it feels anything but cheap and it comes basically ready to use right out of the box.  Simply unscrew the focuser cover, unpack the eyepieces, slide an eyepiece into the opening, tighten the screws and you're done.The mount is so smooth and tight and the materials so high quality you can't help but wonder how is it possible Celestron can make this scope and not lose money on it.  The only reason I see from a business perspective to market such an inexpensive but well made unit is to use it as a loss leader and bank on your next purchase to be another Celestron, and let me tell you, based on my experience so far, I think they have it right.Someone else's review nailed it when they said you could basically throw away the eyepieces and this scope would still be a steal, but I see little reason to do that.  Using the included 20mm eyepiece I took a look at a waning crescent Moon and was able to see a great deal of shadow detail on its surface, while keeping track of it by gently pushing the tube.  I haven't tried the other eyepiece yet, but I'm anticipating an equally good experience.Overall, the FirstScope deserves five stars because it is so well made yet so inexpensive that it's hard to justify buying anything else if you're just getting into backyard astronomy.  After using this scope just once, I can't wait to get back out there and start looking into space again.  I know I made the right decision and will be looking into getting more powerful eyepieces as my next step.  Go ahead and buy one.  You won't be disappointed.
