Cheap telescope. Is it worth it?Strengths: Cheap. Stable. Deep views in space. Weakness: Some plastic parts. One eyepiece is almost garbage. I recommend you to buy extra eyepieces for better views. I did purchase a Firstscope 114 (114mm = 4.5 inch) Short and I'm not sure whether I should return it and wait till the better ones become more available or just keep this one. A 10 inch is $700 at the moment and can't afford that right now. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Celestron Firstscope 114 Short 4.5/1000mm f/9...
Strengths: It's a reflactor telescope, so it is good for the astronomical observation. Reasonable price.
Weakness: I had hard time to assemble this telescope. Manual needs to be improved. It's not good for planet observation. Manufacture missed three screw drivers that are critical for the assembly.
This reflactor telescope is good for the beginners who
are interested in astronomical observation.
It's inexpensive, but it has a good performance.
Light gathering power needs to be improved.
It is a manual tracking telescope, and has no GOTO
function, so beginners will experience hard time to
align, and track the stars.
