Celestron Signature Series Moon By Robert Reeves Features A Superb Moon Astronomical Telescope, Black (22016)

Product Information

Switching the eyepiece out for the SVBONY 23mm produces a wider, sharper image that puts the supplied 20mm to shame, but the SVBONY 3mm eyepiece didn’t fare as well as its larger cousin. We also provide an edition of the exciting astronomy magazine, “Sterne und Weltraum” with each telescope.

In addition to those guides, we’ve also created a series of in-depth reviews of a variety of telescopes and astronomy binoculars.ND filters can also be used reduce the glare from Venus to better see its crescent phases, and to help dim bright daytime views when using a telescope terrestrially. And thanks to its wide field of view, you’ll be able to observe the brightest part of the comet and its tail or favorite deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula.

The PV rating (Peak To Valley) is a measurement from the highest point (Peak) to the lowest point (Valley).Robert Reeves first photographed the Moon in 1959, just as our space program was setting its sights on lunar exploration. Go behind the scenes with Celestron’s product development team and learn more about our award-winning and patented innovations. The FirstScope needs to be equipped with a light finder scope but given that the least overbearing optical finder scopes fail to pick up stars with magnitudes below naked-eye visibility, we recommend using a red dot finder — especially in light-polluted areas.

That being the case, the top third of one side of the sheet is a diagram of the telescope, with the English instructions taking up another third directly below it. The Newtonian reflector is supplied with two eyepieces — 20 mm and 4 mm — and possesses a fast focal ratio to provide a wide field of view that's ideal for not just viewing the planets and the lunar surface, but also allows the observer to view diffuse, wide-angle targets such as star clusters. When you’re ready, you’ll need to insert the lowest power eyepiece you have – this will be the eyepiece with the largest number on it. On close inspection of the overall build, we discovered that the finish isn't perfect with traces of glue apparent on the tube. A must-have accessory that’s sometimes provided with some scopes, it attaches to an eyepiece and reduces the light from the Moon, thereby making for a more comfortable viewing experience.

Its compact design makes the FirstScope Signature Series easy to take along on your next camping trip, picnic, or hike.

The 5x24 finderscope provided with the bracket, facilitates the fast and accurate location of astronomical observations.
