Celestron FirstScope Telescopes

In 1609, world-renowned Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, introduced an elementary telescope to the growing astronomy community which sparked interest into the mysterious night sky for centuries to come.  Four centuries later, in celebration of the International Year of Astronomy, Celestron offers the portable FirstScope Telescope.  This quality Dobsonian style telescope features a 76mm aperture reflector optical tube.  FirstScope is an ideal entry level astronomical telescope.  It is very easy to observe with, the user simply navigates the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of their desired object, making the viewing experience a snap!  The compact design makes it easy enough to take with you on your next outdoor adventure.
