Pocketable starter telescope steals the show for quick skywatching

Space.com promotes the Celestron FirstScope tabletop telescope, on sale for about $60 at Amazon—cheaper than Prime Day—lauding its ultra-portable, beginner-friendly design (no assembly, 76mm aperture, 300mm focal length) with 20mm and 4mm eyepieces. Ideal for quick, entry-level skywatching and kids, it delivers solid views of the Moon and planets, though it isn’t a deep-sky instrument; accessories like a separate finderscope are available, and the piece notes Prime Day pricing history to reinforce its value as a budget pick for new observers.
