Celestron Beginner Telescopes

Celestron beginner telescopes are chosen for simple setup, clear instructions and good first views of the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects. Options include small refractors like the Travel Scope 50 and AstroMaster LT 70AZ, app-guided StarSense Explorer models such as the LT 114AZ, DX 130AZ and 8" Dobsonian, and GoTo kits like the NexStar 90SLT and 114LCM.

Manual scopes teach the sky, app-guided ones help you find targets, and GoTo models do the pointing for you.
