Product Description

The Celestron Firstscope 76EQ is a fine instrument for the beginning stargazer, offering many of the advantages of Newtonian telescope design and a 3-inch aperture. Newtonians (also known as catoptrics) usually use a concave parabolic primary mirror to collect and focus incoming light onto a flat secondary (diagonal) mirror that in turn reflects the image out of an opening at the side of the main tube and into the eyepiece. The superb optics of the Firstscope 76EQ offer dazzling images of the Moon; Saturn and its rings; Jupiter, with its belts and moons; even galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.

Celestron Firstscope 76EQ Reviews

rated 4 out of 5 Very good but...
by Pedro Rivera from Los Angeles, CA United States, 2010-03-10


I'm new to the telescope world, I guess I was expecting the magnification to be much better than we get with this telescope. Other than that, it works great and it's fairly easy to use. My kids love it and use it (weather permits) very often.



rated 5 out of 5 I can see clearly now

Very well packaged for protection. Came within days. Assembled with assistance. Some further instruction on how to star gaze with it would be helpful. Overall great value.



rated 4 out of 5 Nice starter telescope
by A. Chernyak , 2010-01-26


Fairly easy to assemble. Weights don't really help stabilize it enough. Once you find an object to observe I'd suggest not touching any part of the telescope. The slightest touch will send it out of focus. Otherwise ok product.

This telescope was a gift for my hubby. He got it all set up and we were amazed at the quality and clarity of the product! Highly recommend!



rated 5 out of 5 A great scope for new comers
by Amir from USA, 2006-03-05


I highly recommend this telescope for newcomers to astronomy. Assembly is simple and fast. Within 45 minutes of opening the box, I was observing the moon in fantastic detail. I would also recommend that you search the internet for a starmap. I found one on google that shows interesting objects in my local night sky in real time.
