Celestron Firstscope 80EQ 80mm Refractor Telescope

Rating:
Summary: Very nice scope- great optics
Review: Good beginner to intermediate scope. Optics are clean,concise and crisp. Even with poor seeing moon, and planets focused sharply. Splits double stars cleanly- shows nice color of stars.
Mount is average- stable - and lightweight to carry. Viewing things at the zenith is hard with many refractors, and this is no different. Finder is not that good. Overall a good scope for the money. Will show better views of double stars, the planets and the moon then any reflector. Ring nebula easily found in semi darkness- M13 looked nice as well.
