Comments about Celestron Celestron Firstscope 114 EQ 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope.:

When I purchased the Firstscope 114, I'll admitt it, I was a little nervous.

The scope came in a nicely decorated box and was well packaged and protected. Assembly went smoothly with adequate instructions. Collimation (the normal process of aligning the main mirror to the eyepiece) wasn’t as bad as I’ve experienced with a similar model by a different maker. The night I tested it, there was a power outage – perfect! The 'red dot' finderscope is a briliant device. I was able to find the ring nebula (relatively easy to find target) very quickly and with the included eyepieces I was able to see it in fairly good detail by use of off center viewing. Adjusting to dark longer almost certainly may have helped the relative brightness.

Further close inspection of the tripod, tube, mounts and primary and secondary mirrors lead me to this conclusion; for the money, I doubt you’ll find a better first – or even additional, astronomical telescope. Celestron delivers what they claim on this one!
