Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron Table Top 76 Telescope
Customer Review: Great scope for its size
Summary: 5 Stars
I think most folks who don't like it are new to scopes.
Here's the flat truth. For a 3" scope it's really very good. Celestrons optics are by far the best I have looked through. They don't play the "Gotcha game" like Meade either. You get a 20mm and 4mm eyepiece. PERFECT. Why? 600/20=30x. 600/4mm=150x.
They give you a 2x barlow which you use with the 20mm to get 60X (600/20=30x) (30x2=60x)
Since reality in optics will tell you you can only get 50x per inch of aperature. The usable magnification for any 3" scope is 50x3=150. Here is your scale.
NICELY EVEN SPACED OUT FOR FULL RANGE OF MAGNIFICATIONS.
It does have the older .96 eyepieces but don't let that fool you. I get really good
images with this for a three inch scope. NO! you are not going to see details on mars or a spiral image of galaxies with ANY 3" scope. ANY 3" SCOPE!
But if you try many 3" scopes. You will come back to this one. It's very smooth and easy to track with. You'll get used to it in 5 min. It's pretty easy to adjust as well. The spotter could be better, But spot something in th house in the scope dead center in the 20mm eyepiece. Tighten the tripod right there. Then adjust the spotter cross hatches on that image you have centered in the eyepiece. Once you get that. Do not mess with the spotter. It get get knocked off alignment if you bump it good. Now spot a star with it. The 20mm will be dead on. The key! "Do not touch your spotter. Don't grab it. Don't hit it. And it will be great. You should not anyway. Common sense.
To align the mirrors are all done from the screws on the front spyder. Very easy once you get the hang of it. Yes. Front not bottom mirror.
Now. If this was mead's scope they would give you a 40mm and a 4mm eyepice. Why?
it would give you. 15x , 30x and 150x They know you will be begging for the eyepiece to get that missing 60-70x magnification. So give us MORE MONEY and meade will be glad to sell it to you. Meade loves those games and Meade has very poor tripods. My lx 80 is collecting dust and I use this celestron far more. I won't even get going about meades clutching mechanism breakages and poor software.
