Celestron Telescopes  


Celestron has been making telescopes since 1960. It is now one of the largest telescope makers in the world. Celestron telescopes are well known among amateur astronomers for their excellent optics, and innovative design.


Celestron was the first large scale commercial manufacturer of the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.



Celestron Telescopes for Beginners


If you are new to astronomy your first telescope will largely depend on your budget. In my opinion Celestron offer the best value telescopes for beginners - not always the cheapest, but the best overall value.  

Celestron 21024 Firstscope



The Firstscope telescope is specially designed for new astronomers.


Its main benefit is the very low price, this is the best telescope if you have a very limited budget. It will get you started, but will not perform as well as more expensive telescopes.  


An ideal gift for children.

Celestron NexStar 8 SE Telescope


If you are only going to buy one telescope this is the one for you. Ideal for beginners who don’t want to have to upgrade later on. It has excellent optics and construction, it’s portable and easy to set-up. The fantastic computerized GoTo function makes this telescope a winner.


Highly recommended.
