Celestron Signature Series Moon By Robert Reeves Features A Superb Moon Astronomical Telescope, Black (22016)

Product Information

In the 1960s, Celestron’s founder, Tom Johnson, created groundbreaking new telescopes never before seen on the consumer market. Since there’s no finderscope included, there’s no other assembly required and it only remains for you to remove the cover from the focuser and insert an eyepiece.

The Moon has the distinction of being the most often viewed celestial object through backyard telescopes. Celestron can now offer you the official telescope for this occasion, the FirstScope 76, which is more than able to provide anyone with their first personal impression of the wonders of the universe! The filters have threads on the top and bottom to stack with other filters for even more light filtration options. Just point the telescope at any three bright objects—stars, bright planets, or even the Moon—and your telescope can orient itself with the night sky.I think the funniest thing was when the 4mm Ramsden eyepiece became stuck in the focuser due to the slippy low profile volcano top. We’ve also created as series of helpful guides, such as our list of cool facts about astronomy (which any kids or beginners will no doubt find interesting), our guide to astronomy for beginners, and our article on astronomy for kids. There was also a fair amount of chromatic aberration around the edge of both the field of view and any high contrast targets, such as hills, buildings or even the rising Moon against the blue sky.

When you’re ready, you’ll need to insert the lowest power eyepiece you have – this will be the eyepiece with the largest number on it. com, Live Science, science and space magazines How It Works and All About Space, history magazines All About History and History of War as well as Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) kids education brand Future Genius. This quality Dobsonian-style telescope features a spherical glass mirror with a generous 76 mm of aperture. Once the measurement has been taken, we are provided with a series of results that show the optical quality of the surface plus other information.Today, our world-class team of optical and electronic engineers continues to push the boundaries of technology. This quality Dobsonian style telescope features a spherical glass mirror with a generous 76mm of aperture.

So we had a sad little boy Christmas morning for a while until we'd manage to convince him that Mummy and Daddy would "sort it" for him. eyepiece offers 24x power while the 6mm eyepiece increases the power to 50x which makes it easier to find and observe objects that require more magnification. We are using the very latest Zygo MX software to provide a more detailed report compared to other standard reports. The telescope's ease of use should not hide the fact that you have acquired a powerful optical instrument with the FirstScope 76. If there was an award for most needed eyepiece upgrade this scope would win it, what a difference when I popped in the 8mm BST!Why not check out the Celestron Moon Filter or Moon Filter Set to improve the contrast and observe the Moon in even more detail. Despite the shortcomings, we couldn't wait to see what the FirstScope was capable of — especially given that we could get started in astronomy with a quick slew of the telescope tube. The reason is that the filter provided is tinted green and the Moon will then appear green as a result. Complete with two eyepieces, the telescope tube is a map of the Moon with areas of interest to look out for. The Newtonian reflector is supplied with two eyepieces — 20 mm and 4 mm — and possesses a fast focal ratio to provide a wide field of view that's ideal for not just viewing the planets and the lunar surface, but also allows the observer to view diffuse, wide-angle targets such as star clusters.
