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

I got the Celestron Signature Series Moon telescope, and it’s been an incredible addition for our stargazing nights! The design is really cool, with a printed moon surface that gives it a unique look. My family and I love how it actually points out major features on the Moon, making it a fun learning experience.The setup is simple and compact, which makes it easy to bring outside without fussing over complicated adjustments. The tabletop style is a nice touch; we just set it on a stable surface, and we’re good to go. It comes with two eyepieces, so we can switch between 15x and 75x magnification, depending on how close we want to get.The view is surprisingly clear for such a compact telescope. We’ve been able to spot craters and mountain ranges on the Moon in detail, which feels amazing, especially for beginners like us. It’s also great for introducing kids to astronomy without overwhelming them.If you’re looking for an affordable, user-friendly telescope to explore the Moon with impressive detail, this one’s a fantastic choice!

Bought this on a whim just to play with. Got this model as it included a finder (hmmmm) which is not the easiest to align. The rest of the scope was very easy to set up and use straight out of the box. The moon is the most obvious target for this little scope and it won't disappoint. Google the Internet for a moon map and impress yourself by just how much you can find. You can spend many happy hours just doing that alone. Finding other object like Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, can be done but will be a challenge so whet your appetite on the moon and enjoy!

It's an excellent first scope. In general very easy to use. You should be seeing the moon and 3 or 4 of Jupiters moons very quickly. As a absolute beginner it took me maybe 5 minutes. I live semi rural so your results may vary. The photo is far worse than what my eye could see.Optics are fine but the focus window is quite small. the mount is very sturdy.You can have absolute confidence in setting this up for your kids (mines 4) and letting them experiment. It's no real loss is they drop it or push out of alignment.But. The finder scope is awful. It's almost impossible to collimate. Best I could manage was the moon at the top of the top quadrant.More importantly, I suspect you'll grow out of it very quickly and want to get something better in the 114 range.Buy if it's less than £50. But consider something in the £120-£150 range. Celestron heritage range for example.As an aside it may be worth visiting your local astronomy club, seeing if you like the hobby and then investing in a better telescope if you think the hobby is for you.

8 year old loves it, enjoys looking at the moon and stars. Perfect starting telescope for a budding astromer.

Handy size and light weight. You have to be patience to find stars and the moon but you’ll get there, good for star gazer beginners.

Nice for price, could really do with a phone holder

Not as good as expected, difficult to line up. Binoculars work better.

Been outside for an hour. Had a better view of the moon and jupiter with my monocular. Feels like a complete waste of money and certainly does not do what it says on the box
