The California-based
Celestron optics company, with its wide offering of state-of-the-art optical technologies and a worldwide reputation for well-engineered products, designs and manufactures some of the highest-quality optical products out there. Celestron’s product line has expanded to include spotting scopes, binoculars, microscopes, optics cases and, of course, sophisticated telescopes for astronomy - many of them computerized.
Celestron telescopes are the choice of major colleges, universities and research organizations; in fact, NASA selected the
Celestron C5 telescope to be taken on several Space Shuttle missions.
Celestron offers a range of optical products, from relatively simple binoculars and spotting scopes for hunting and wildlife watching to its advanced but popularly priced telescopes, such as the
Celestron SkyScout personal planetarium. This computerized telescope identifies over 50,000 stars, planets and constellations from a built-in database and provides scientific information for each object.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The optics are fair at best, depth of focus and width of field seem constricted as does the dark image. But the main complaint is the flimsy plastic tripod which really needs to be beefed up. If I were the designer I might have also considered a small alignent feature as it is difficult to locate an object, and then with the flaky tripod and lock down even more difficult to keep the object centered.

Comments:
compact, but the focus ring was hard to turn, given the magnification the view kept shifting when you tried to focus. When I finally focused it, the view was not clear. I'm returning it today.
