3 out of 5 stars   Good Scope, Great Service

Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Accurate, Comes pre assembled, Compact
Cons: Akward to use
Other Comments: This was a gift for my 6 year old son. The quality of the product is fine and it is nice that it came pre assembled. It can be a little awkward to use though. Best to spread out a blanket on the ground and place the telescope on the blanket. The ground provides the most stable platform that allows me and my son to adjust and look through the telescope. This is a good product but don't expect to be wowed, it is a beginners telescope. Also, in retrospect, for someone as young as my son, I should have gotten him a pair of binoculars for ease of use and functionality.

Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Easy to set up, Strong Construction, Compact, Easy to use
Cons:
Other Comments: This is an excellent telescope for introducing someone to astronomy. It is easy to use and worked perfectly right out of the box - no collimation needed. Highly recommended for a first-time telescope or if you need a fairly portable telescope.

5 out of 5 stars   Just had to get one!
By Star Gazer on May 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Compact
Cons: None
Other Comments: I bought this scope because it was just a great deal. Besides being a good starter telescope, it would even make a nice dust collector. Nonetheless, we use it to look at various objects in the sky, but with the city lights it is hard to clearly see the stars and planets. We plan to get out away from the city lights soon to see the difference.

4 out of 5 stars   Good, not Great!
By PeterEchs on May 08, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Compact
Cons: Poor Lens Quality
Other Comments: I bought this telescope to get my kids into Astronomy, but I don't think it will be that easy. First, the eyepieces are pretty low quality. Second, it is hard to correctly aim this without a finder scope. This is especially a problem given its small size and the placement of the eyepiece.(e.g., you can't just put this on a car roof and look along the side of the scope, because then you won't be able to lok through the eyepiece. I am still trying to figure out the ideal way to use this - I till think there is hope for it.

5 out of 5 stars   Great telescope at a great price!
By CruisinCajun on May 07, 2010

Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Quality Lenses, Strong Construction, Compact, Accurate
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this telescope to introduce astronomy to my 6 year old grand-daughter. More of a scope to play with on a low level. And to my surprise, this telescope is very easy to use and has very good optics to boot! I highly recommend buying the kit that includes more optics, a very nice carrying bag, and a finders scope! And did I mention that this scope looks great just sitting on the shelf! (For true beginners: Keep in mind that objects appear upside down and inverse left to right -- which is typical of a reflector scope.)

5 out of 5 stars   I own 8 scopes - this is a great deal!!
By MrPigz on May 06, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Celestron Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope (CT21024)
Pros: Accurate, Strong Construction, Quality Lenses, Compact
Cons:
Other Comments: When I break out my expensive scopes, I share this with the kids or set up a table for the older folks. The optical and overall quality is very good. It feels solid. The views are sharp and clear. Using this as a first scope, you can quickly upgrade to a more expensive set up and know how to use it. This s not a professional level scope. However, it does a great job for the money. This also fits in a backpack.
