Description:

From serious beginners to intermediate observers seeking slightly more detail, the Celestron Firstscope AZ 80mm model is ideal. It has 131 times the light-gathering ability of the naked eye, and its wider aperture delivers images up to 78 percent brighter than those produced by a 60mm refractor telescope. This model offers slow-motion controls on both the R.A. and DEC. axes. These controls, for both altazimuth and the altitude, are on flexible cables that enhance viewing by making it simpler to locate and track objects. This scope can be used for terrestrial viewing as well as astronomical viewing, and it offers amazingly detailed images of our solar system. Despite its image clarity, the Firstscope is best for focusing on relatively nearby objects such as neighboring planets and the moon.
