The Celestron Firstscope 76EQ is a fine instrument for the beginning stargazer, offering many of the advantages of Newtonian telescope design and a 3-inch aperture. Newtonians (also known as catoptrics) usually use a concave parabolic primary mirror to collect and focus incoming light onto a flat secondary (diagonal) mirror that in turn reflects the image out of an opening at the side of the main tube and into the eyepiece. The superb optics of the Firstscope 76EQ offer dazzling images of the Moon; Saturn and its rings; Jupiter, with its belts and moons; even galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.

I highly recommend this telescope for newcomers to astronomy. Assembly is simple and fast. Within 45 minutes of opening the box, I was observing the moon in fantastic detail. I would also recommend that you search the internet for a starmap. I found one on google that shows interesting objects in my local night sky in real time.
The Moon and beyond!
