Clear views, easy operations.

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: A good scope to learn the Astronomy hobby. Simple enough and no collimation headaches.
Review: I bought this scope used over Ebay for $60.00. I started this hobby with a Konus 4.5" reflector that cost me nearly $200. I was getting frustrated with trying to collimate the Konus and also the Konus mount and tripod were pretty cheap.

Probably Shouldn't Be Your First

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: Skip it. For the $60 I paid for this, you can buy a good pair of binoculars which will be much more versatile and portable than the Celestron telescope.
Review: Telescopes are a finicky business. There's no such thing as a good, cheap scope-- either it's a good scope (or, if your scope costs as much as your car, a GREAT scope) or a cheap scope. This discrepancy is immediately apparent when one looks at the...
