Celestron 76mm Signature Series Telescope

2026-01-24    -Sam

Celestron 76mm Signature series telescopeFor an introductory telescope, it's decent, I guess, for the price. It's mainly meant for lunar viewing but you can see other objects, but I guess with some attachments, it could look much better. So far, as a family, we have been enjoying learning with this 76mm Celestron. Great for kids and beginners. I took some interesting shots of the moon, you can slightly edit the shots if needed with various software. I took this with my phone via the telescope and had to hold it and align it manually, as I don't have any phone mount yet so it's difficult to do. So I'm sure with some stability, it could look much better. It only comes with 4mm and 20mm eye pieces. Very light table top design. Can get tricky when trying to align objects manually for view.

My son loves this telescope

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for you buck

Great little unit to check out the moon. I was even able to see Saturn and its rings it was a very small image but still awesome. Small package makes it easy it store and to take along with definitely a great first telescope easy to use and small in size lots of fun and memories to be made with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Low-Cost, Introductory Telescope

For the price, it is a very good first telescope. The optical clarity is fairly iffy compared to Celestron's Skymaster binoculars that can be had for $10-15 more at Amazon. Even so, you can clearly see the craters and maria on the Moon. Last night, in a hugely light polluted locale, we were able to see all four Galilean Moons of Jupiter. We saw the Orion Nebula, albeit faint without appreciable color. You can also look at the Seven Sisters, and get overwhelmed by how many more stars actually make up the Pleiades. It makes many more stars visible where you could only see a few with the un-aided eye.For teaching and learning beginning astronomy especially basic telescope usage, it can't be beat. The simple Dobsonian mount reflector telescope is perfect for throwing on the hood of a car and having folks take turns viewing. It is much more steady than the twitchy, lightweight bipod mounted refractors most kids get for a first scope. Also, for the binoculars, I have yet to come up with a satisfactory mounting/viewing system worthy of the optics.Very glad I bought the FirstScope, but I wouldn't buy a second one. Get your youngin' a FirstScope, and if they are still interested, get them something more expensive later. Don't spend $500+ right out of the chute, only to have your child get bored or frustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, and inexpensive scope

Great, and inexpensive scope!After reading the review I decided to order the Celestron Zoom lens along with the scope. The lens costs more than the scope and it is worth ịt The lens construction is more robust than the include fixed lens (x2). They work right out of the box, and simple to setup. I tried it in my office and could see clearly without distortion a speck of dirt on the fluorescent light cover. I was impressed! That night I set it up with the zoom lens right outside of my garage, with a lot of light pollution around, I fumbled a bit on the attachment, but quickly got a hang of ịt Immediately I pointed to the brightest "star" overhead, knowing that it should be Jupiter. Sure enough I saw Jupiter ( it looked like this "o" at the highest magnification) and its 4 moons. I could discern the 2 bands around the planet, and its 4 moons. The collimation must be spot on!Also the scope construction feels solid eventhough it is made out of plastic.This reflection scope beats the the refraction scope I used before hands down, both in terms of clarity, ease of setup, and compactness. Thanks Sir Isacc Newton!

Livraison à éviter par Amazon

2026-02-18    -Jérôme V.

Le télescope semble de qualité mais évitez de le commander sur Amazon, le livreur de colis privé a joué au basketball avec le colis part dessus la clôture qui fait 2m de haut. Pour un objet aussi fragile c’est tout simplement scandaleux.

worth adding finderscope.

its great my son loves it, weve both seen good views of Pleiades and the moon with it.recommend a finderscope / laser pointer and some good lenses mid power like a 10mm the 4mm is too much except for the moon

Déception

Je pensais pouvoir profiter d’un télescope pour admirer les planètes du système solaire au final j’ai reçu beaucoup de plastique et une vision à peine mieux qu’à l’œil nu et même mon téléphone permet de mieux voir

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little table top scope.

Great secondary telescope for when you don't want to lug around heavier scopes. Or for quick moon viewing.
