The Celestron FirstScope is a great scope for both young beginners and curious parents! It's small and easy for young astronomers to carry to their favorite observing spot, plus its simple and robust design makes it easy to set up and point to the Moon and bright planets and stars. The FIrstScope is powerful enough to see craters on the Moon, double stars, the moons of Jupiter, and even, with help from the second high-power eyepiece, a glimpse of Saturn's rings! “ --- Dave Prosper, former Night Sky Network Administrator
