Amazon has the Celestron 21024 FirstScope 76mm reflector on sale for $29.99 with the promo code B4VTPW6R. If I don't find a better deal on craigslist over the weekend, I think I'm going to order one next week. Anyone ever used that particular telescope?

Welp, I just bought a 5.5" Bausch & Lomb reflector from someone on craigslist for $25. Came with the powered equatorial mount and everything. Now I just have to wait for the sky to clear up so I can point it at something other than clouds. edit: Finally found a ruler to measure it and it's actually a 5.5" aperture. And 32" long. No wonder I thought it seemed big. Elder Postsman fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Oct 4, 2009 |

Just took my telescope out for the first time, just to look at the moon, and holy crap, I was just blown away by what I could see. I just have the one 2.5mm eyepiece and the moon is basically bigger than the field of view, but I could see the craters and shadows from the craters and the mountains around the edges and everything. I just wish the mount was a little more stable - it was really shaking around a lot. Or is that normal-ish for higher zoom levels?

It looks like a BAe-146 to me.
