    • Works good. I needed to learn the lens!!

UPDATE: I've had it about 3 weeks and I am totally revising my review!!!! I just looked at a star cluster but I get far better results from my binos but the problem wasn't with the telescope, it was me not knowing which lens to use! ( I needed to do some LEAENING!) I simply didn't understand which lens I needed to use nor did I understand their purpose. First, to all novices like myself, practice looking through each eyepieces during the day at an object!! GET TO KNOW THOSE LENS! The lens with the tiny hole, I found out this morning, its to see DISTANT things...for example, I could see an ant crawling on a tree limb from about 750 yards!! That was using only the lens with the tiny hole. I dont remember the size, sorry. The eyepieces that have the larger glass to look through, its used to look at say, the moon, when its full. I was fumbling the dark outside, swapping lens and I just couldn't "figure them out" but I did this morning, using them each to hone in on different targets. Get a notebook, write diwn what each lens does, what it will see using a Barlow, either a 2X or 3X Barlow, what the resulting be if you use a combination ect. I have NO ONE to help me so I have to learn these things myself by trial and error. I blamed the telescope untill I realized I needed to figure the lenses out in daylight. This telescope works GREAT. Again, get a notebook, write down what lens or combination of lens, works best and which works best for far away things like Nebula vs planets or the moon when its full or in the last quart ect. REMEMBER: Some things in the sky are farther at certain times if the year and nearer at other times so if your a novice like me, PLEASE take the time to get to know the lens, especially if you've bought extra like I did. Some folks say it wobbles..they ALL will wobbles if you touch them so thats normal too if you're leaning on it. Duh. I was wrong anout this telescope. It wirks great. Its me that simply needed to learn the lens and how to properly use them. Be patient with yourself and learn it. Practice with it in the daylight. Then, you'll be good to go using it at night. Lol Practice with it and BE PATIENT. Learn it. Get familiar with it, which lens, and which one works best for closer, farther, ect. Most important of all, ENJOY SEEING THE HANDIWORK OF GOD! ... show more

    • Nice Beginner's Telescope - After Some Work
This is my first telescope. But I had put in a lot of time to learn about telescopes before I made a choice for a beginner’s telescope. I had my doubts about this scope when I first used it. The scope came with the cap for the secondary mirror (which had adhesive to keep it in place) stuck to the primary mirror. When I pulled it off it left a smudge of adhesive on the mirror. I had also bought a laser collimator with the scope only to find that this is a Bird Jones style scope requiring partial disassembly to use a laser collimator. Also, the primary mirror is not center dotted. This all seemed like more potential work that I really wanted to take on as a novice. I called Celestron to ask if the primary mirror smudge was an issue, they said it was not. I also asked why the primary mirror is not center dotted for collimation and they said the scope was collimated at the factory and would not need collimation by the consumer. The Celestron rep was helpful and patient with my questions, so no problem there. I was under-whelmed with my first two viewings. The only easy target at the time was Jupiter. It was rather fuzzy and undefined. And so I undertook to disassemble the scope to center dot the primary mirror and laser collimate it. It definitely needed collimation. The secondary mirror was way off. And of course the primary mirror was off too as expected after I disassembled it. To my relief, all of this was pretty easy to do. I had the whole project done in about 30 minutes. And that did the trick. Jupiter resolved nice and sharp. I could see the cloud bands and the four moons were sparkling jewels. Better yet, Saturn was now up. What an awesome sight! Beyond my expectations. I could see the rings clearly to the degree that I could tell how they oriented around the plant (with a 12.5mm eyepiece and a 2x Barlow). I couldn’t make out the Cassini Division, but I was very impressed with the detail and clarity provided by this beginner’s scope. So now, for the money, I’m very pleased with this scope. But those contemplating purchase should know that this is a Bird Jones style scope and it may need collimation to get the most out of it. One last note: the eyepieces supplied are not very impressive, but useable. I bought a set of Plossl eyepieces (20mm, 12.5mm, 6mm) and a 2x Barlow under the assumption they will still be of good use if I upgrade to a better telescope in the future. I think that was a good supporting purchase. ... show more

    • Bird-Jones, not Newtonian, won't collimate
the view wasn't too bad, but it was a little fuzzy with some chromatic fringing. Everything I read about telescopes was saying I would need to collimate if I wanted to have minimum fuzzyness. (some saying every time you set up a telescope you should collimate). But nothing in the instructions said how to do this. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it any better, or if I was just experiencing the limits of atmospheric distortion and the 4.5" mirror. After being frustrated for quite a while of only making things worse while adjusting, I finally find that it's not actually a Newtonian reflector, it's a Bird-Jones style reflector/refractor hybrid with a 2x barlow lens built in the focuser tube. That explains the chromatic fringing, I expect. This makes all collimation techniques and tools for Newtonians basically not applicable, and none of the forums about telescopes have anything good to say about either the Bird-Jones design, or good reports of how to collimate except to disassembly the optics every time. Combine the lack of information in the package about the scope itself, and this one is probably going to be frustrating for beginners, and not something that will be able to be maintained and adjusted for a good long term experience. The out-of-box alignment wasn't that bad, I think, and the original image quality was OK, so for a basic point-and-shoot, it's alright, I suppose. But if you're actually wanting to get into telescopes and be able to fix/align properly, find something else. Wish I'd known what I know now before buying. I'd for sure choose a different one. ... show more
