FirstScope pays tribute to the men and women who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us!
In 1609, world-renowned Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, introduced an elementary telescope to the growing astronomy community which sparked interest into the mysterious night sky for centuries to come. Four centuries later, Celestron offers the portable FirstScope Telescope. The FirstScope pays tribute to Galileo Galilei and many of historys most notable astronomers and scientists by displaying their names around the optical tube. We honor the contributions of these men and women, who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us.

FirstScope is an ideal entry level astronomical telescope. It is very easy to observe with, the user simply navigates the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of their desired object, making the viewing experience a snap! The compact design makes it easy enough to take with you on your next outdoor adventure. FirstScope is also stylish enough to be a decorative fixture on your bookshelf or desk.
12.5mm and 6mm eyepiecesThe 12.5mm and 6mm eyepieces together provide a variety of magnifications with increased power of 24x and 50x, allowing you to observe more detail of faint objects.
Moon FilterThanks to the moon filter, greater detail with improved contrast can be observed on the lunar surface through the scope. The filter has threads on it which screws into the bottom of the eyepieces.
