This entry-level telescope is a great choice for kids and families who are ready to take an interest in the stars. When you are observing something big, like the Moon, it is fairly easy to point your telescope along its line of sight and get that object in your eyepiece. It almost feels as though you’re looking at the Moon through a magnifying glass at the end of a cardboard tube.

The PV rating (Peak To Valley) is a measurement from the highest point (Peak) to the lowest point (Valley). I would say this is a bit of a design faux par lol It wouldn't even come out when I turned the scope upside down!The telescope's ease of use should not hide the fact that you have acquired a powerful optical instrument with the FirstScope 76. The reason is that the filter provided is tinted green and the Moon will then appear green as a result. The FirstScope is a quality Dobsonian style telescope features a 76 mm aperture reflector optical tube.

The FirstScope was tested during the day on terrestrial targets and also on astronomical targets at night. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present. If you look at the Celestron 76 FirstScope you will see that it was appointed as the 'Official Product' of the Year of Astronomy by the 'International Astronomical Union' committee.Increases the power to 24x which makes it easier to find and observe some objects that require more magnification.

The Moon is probably the most viewed object in the night sky, a telescope will easily reveal a vast amount of detail but often this can be spoilt by the extreme brightness at the eyepiece.Our patented SkyAlign alignment technology makes setting up a computerized telescope simple, fast, and accurate. It’s compact and lightweight enough for an adult to pick up and move with just one hand, but while it’s designed to be accessible to younger children, it’s best if moving the scope is left to the adults. This is doable with terrestrial targets or something large and bright, like the Moon, but not so easy when you’re trying to aim it at a planet, multiple star or even one of the brighter deep sky objects, like the Pleiades. Once the Zygo test report has been completed, the optical alignment is thoroughly tested and tuned to ensure they are spot on before they leave us. However, smaller objects are much easier to locate in your telescope if you have a finderscope to help do the work.
