The Celestron FirstScope Beginners Telescope is exactly that - a great FirstScope for beginners.
By using a Table Top design, the FirstScope is extremely compact making it easy-to-use for all ages. And because of its size, it only weighs 2kg, meaning it's also super easy to move around. The Celestron FirstScope also has an aperture of 76mm and a focal length of 300mm, meaning you'll be able to get good views of the moon and star clusters. With the two eyepieces that come with the telescope, you can easily switch between 15x and 75x magnification!
The FirstScope pays homage to famous astronomers with their names proudly displayed on the telescope tube.
