Each of the combinations in this new line comes complete with all of the essentials: a telescope, a sturdy mount, an eyepiece and a red dot viewfinder. Telescope offerings include achromatic refractors ranging in aperture from 70mm to 152mm, Maksutov-Cassegrains from 100mm to 152mm, and Newtonian reflectors from 114mm to an impressive 203mm.

Mounts vary from a simple fork-mounted alt-azimuth option to a complete GOTO tracking system. As an added benefit, each package includes an adapter that allows you to use your smartphone to easily capture and share the beauty unfolding in your eyepiece. With Firstlight, the only thing you need to provide is a desire to discover.

Best Choice in first-time Refractor Telescopes

We choosed one year ago, for the Total Eclipse in Argentina, 6 telescopes Firstlight 90 AZ to use in public observation, actually we still using these equipment, part of Our observation Team, and looks so good like the first day. For kids, sometimes is not easy show them a Nebula and listen a noise of surprise from them...but with this small Telescope, one of the most luminous in their class, the Orion Nebula was easy to see like a picture, despite a urban sky. The classic and well designed lateral bar with micro alt-movement is an additional improvement that in this small Telescope is a goal.

Great Beginner Telescope

I have a Celestron powerseeker 114eq Newtonian reflector and this small little telescope does just as good but a bit better. The eyepieces it came with is better than the ones I received with my Celestron telescope. It does a fantastic job on observing planets with pretty nice detail and way easier maneuver and transport. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a beginners telescope.
