Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!
If you want to avoid feeling frustrated and you don’t want to listen to countless instructions on how to get started on stargazing, Mr. Bragg is the man. Although I have a different telescope than the one in his video, his insight on the mechanics of telescopes was applicable and easy to understand. THANK YOU
I Recommend Celestron Anyday After My Experience About 5-6:Years Ago,Although Not All Of My Scopes Are Celestron,But 3 Out Of 6 Is😂..Clear Skies🙏🏻❤️✨🔭🌏
Thanks to Mr Bragg, for his efforts to let us know about the basics of telescope usage. The description is really helpful.

I tried to line mine up using stop sign but its upside down. What do I do?
@@aaronhouse519 ,Dont Pay Attention To What The Sign Says,Pay More Attention To Getting As Much To The Center As Possible,There Is No Left,Right,Up Or Down In Space,Your Just Using The Sign To Align,Not Observing It,Hope This Helps.Good Luck,and Clear Skies..Not Sure Why Someone Didnt Answer You
Good explanation. That said, when I first got my 130az, (reflector) I too could see nothing. Turns out that the center screw on the secondary mirror had come loose and the secondary mirrow was facing away from the eyepiece. Fortunately, the secondary didn't fall out and ruin the mirrow. Took me a few days of research, plus extra equipment, to learn how and to do a proper collimation. Now the scope works pretty good.
This video has some great ideas and didn't "dumb down" anything. Thanks Celestron for making this video and fine yet "beginner affordable" optical equipment.
This was super helpful thanks a ton, mate! Fantastic explanation of simple concepts that gets those images on the lens quicker and much, much clearer!
You are so right & explain in simple terms without blowing my mind as i really like simplicity right from the beginning ,im not thick but we need to start from the beginning as after all its new as a new hobby .
I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE THE SPACE STATION .KEEP DOING AS YOU DO THANKS 😊
"do you have eyes? Are you blind? Have you taken the protective caps off? Are you actually looking at anything?"
Were the answers I was expecting!
I did all this when I got my first scope. Aligned it in the day which really helped at night!
@deanmoncaster --- "Are you actually looking at anything?" Cracked me up !!! Thank you.
Are you looking in the right end?
@@insane_troll Wouhahaha LoL ! Thank you too!
@@insane_troll I thought, The Robots did everything for us..... You mean i have to Think And use my Brain, With the Telescope. AWWW This is gonna hurt.... LOL
Truly outstanding presentation and commentary. I like the slip of the tongue, as evidenced by saying, "I love this telescope." That comment got my attention quickly. I am hearing and listening carefully! Thank you much! Semper Fi
What a great explanation - can't wait to try this again in the daytime. Thank you Greg!
By far the best explanation I’ve heard so far! Thank you!
This is an extremely helpful video. All beginners could benefit to watch it. I would like to emphasize looking at the moon first through a telescope. It is easy to locate and focus. After practicing on the Moon , planets, stars and celestial objects will be easier to find and focus.
I see the stuff through my finderrscope but i cant see jack except for the moon
My issue is I can barely see the moon. My binoculars give me a way better view. Idk what I’m doing wrong.

U can see it the thing is make sure too check if ur finder scope and telescope is aligned also start with a 20mm eyepiece soemthing that gives less magnification
@@GymSagaToTo i have a friggin 40mm and the moon is blurry as shit i tried the whole focus range
@@somerandomguy7458 actually 40mm is not powerful. Cos 10mm is more powerful than 25mm lens
Thank you so much was starting to think my telescope didnt work and was down since my daughters been dying to see the moon up close cant wait to give this a try tomorrow
Thank you for the helpful explanation!! I'm so excited to try out my telescope tomorrow
Did you try it?
Thank you so much for this perfect explanation of how to use my new 5" Schmitt Cassegrain telescope! Sounds stupid but I didn't even know how to use the red dot finder at all! Super simple and helpful video. Greatly appreciate you!
Congratulations,Ive Had A 6 For Cpl Years Now and Just Love It,My Skies Have Been Junk For Over A Year Here In NWPA,When I Can See It,Im In A Bortle 4,Good Luck,Have Fun,and Clear Skies🙏🏻❤️🌏✨🔭
Ah great! Thank u so much this has made a world of a difference. I found the instructions good but very lengthy and overwhelming.
Hey man this was absolutely brilliant thank you. Everything I needed.
Thank you for that explanation 𝖑𝖊𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖉
Great information, answered many of my questions and provided useful information on how my telescope works. Thank you.
Now this is a man who loves his work.
Tha k you so much sir for this excellent info. I bought 130eq but don’t know how to use that...was searching stars in the nights with no luck...Now I’ll try to do what you have said
Great video, great explanation!
Great video , this should help me when my lens arrive . Excellent work 👍🏼🤞
I just bought a Celestron lt. So excited to use it.
Thank you for the tips and tricks!
Explained sensationally. I have a Celestron C8 and want to know where the sweetspot is? The mirror of the SCT can be moved very far, but the Schmidt plate is only calculated optimally for one distance. Which accessories should I use to stay within the area?
This really helps, I’m interested in starting. Thank you sir
Great video. Just got little man the Astromaster 114. This helps a lot!
Thank you Randy
I am currently interested in two Celestron telescopes, the Starsense Explorer DX 102AZ, and the 130AZ. One important feature of my next scope is being able to use 2 inch eyepieces in the focuser. So far I have been unable to find out from any website, including Celestron’s, or for any review of the scopes if either/both will accept 2 inch eyepieces. Hopefully you can provide some illumination on this topic. Thanks very much. I would like to buy one of these soon, but it appears that they are more precious than valuable gems right at the moment, or just cannot be found, with back orders until April sometimes. Great review. I came back to watch a second time.😊
Thank you for this video! Do you use the red dot finder each time you change your view or is it like once you’ve got it centered, you’re all set for the night?
yes its set for the night and as long u dont touch the buttons it can last weeks or months aligned. btw i have an astro channel if u need more help
Thank YOU very much 😊
Glad I found this channel. Just got a celestron astrofi 6 and I'm looking for any advice really.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Just sited my scope at the neighbors building something in their yard :)
I have Celestron 4. In this point and focus method I can not get it to move side to side only up and down.
Hi Greg
Thank you for your clear explanation
I bought recently 127eq and when I target an object like a tree to allign my finder scoop with the telescope I don't see anything in the eyepiece even if use the focuser. Is there is anything wrong with my telescope in that case
Great video !
Hi Greg, i have a 127eq scope (Christmas present) . Q Are you able to do a video on how to collimate a Bird-jones scope with a lesser collimator. also how we locate the center of a primary mirror with out a center dot. cant find any really good Bird-jones Collimation videos on YT.
I have an astromaster 114EQ. The other night I was attempting some astrophotography and only black images came back (even after 30s of exposure). When I looked into the eyepiece, all I see is the secondary mirror and my own eye staring back. Will collimating fix this issue?
You really need to consider putting the red dot finder instructions (i.e. how to calibrate, turn on, change batteries, etc.), in the box. Only thing I got in my 114AZ was, how to mount.....that's it. This video solves a lot of beginner frustration because lack of beginner instructions included in box.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, this was very helpful. I was slowly figuring this out on my own, but it’s been raining, foggy and cloudy (the worst week to get a telescope, lol) and I haven’t had a chance to try anything but from my living room.
@annmariekelly8024: LOL....that always happens. I got my telescope after 2 weeks of constantly-clear skies......the day it arrived the clouds came back 😞
I just got the Celestron StarSense explorer dx 102 az. Should(or could) I align both finderscope and StarSense app? Or only one at a time, depending if I'm using the app or not?
Thank you very much.
Trying to figure out which telescope would be better for a beginner. I have been looking at the Starsense 114LT and the Starsense 130dx az. The 130 is double the price of the 114 but is it worth it? Any help would be appreciated.
I can line things up in my finders scope but then it's just nothing but black through the eye piece
I have the DX 130 AZ which has a different configuration of where the eye piece and knobs are. I have tried and tried to get it sorted out but can't seem to get focused in with the finder and the app. I will try again as I want to see the Saturn/Jupiter show tomorrow night. Does it matter if the tri-pod is not even? I have one leg lower than the other to so I could see in the eye piece more comfortably. Maybe that is a problem. I will try your tips and see if I can get it focused. Also, if you move the telescope does it need to be re-focused again?
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Going to try this tomorrow. We bought this at Christmas for our son and have not been able see anything.
So helpful! Thank you!
Hi , do you think Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ LT Refractor Telescope is a good telescope for beginners? Kit includes : 20mm (low power) and 10mm (high power) eyepiece is a black friday deal.
This was very helpful me and my mum was struggling lol Tysm !
Thanks for the tutorial on basics. I had given up and my reflector telescope is lying unused for so many years
At long last I think I've got it thanks for the help.
Really great tutorial, just what I was looking for. I was trying to use the 10mm to start with, and wasn't sure what each where for.
Hi, thanks for your video. I bought a Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ. I was wondering if you can recommend an imaging camera that could work with this telescope. I tried to use my Sony A6000 with the adapter, I managed to make it work but then I discovered imaging cameras and I thought I could get one likk Celestron 93708 NexImage. Do you think it could work with this telescope? Thank you.
This video was very helpful!!!
Very good video. Now I know how to set the aim of the red dot finder scope. What is the brand and model of the watch you are wearing?
thanks! that was really simple and helpful.
I’ve been an astrophotographer for a few years now, advice: spend allot of time with binoculars learning the constellations. The North Star (Polaris) the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) Orion and some of the basics, get comfortable with these basic targets and your circle on knowledge will continue to increase with your interest. Learning to snow sky means you fall down allot, but you don’t give up, same with astronomy, never give up.
Maybe could you tell me why Mars and Jupiter look the exact same thru my telescope? Just started using it tonight so very new
@@ryanrushing7741 what telescope do you have?
@@cryptojihadi265 Celestron 70dx travel scope
This was so helpful, thank you sir
Title of the year!
Thnx
Bragg is a great explainer..
Yes
Hi
Especially with a reflector with the eyepiece at an angle (and memory problems) no matter what mount, one must figure out which way is the star moving when you move the tube. And vise-versa.
I can find things just fine with my refractor, but I just bought a diagonal to correct the upside and backwards orientation and now I can’t see anything. What could possibly have gone wrong by just adding a diagonal? (Terrestrial viewing)
Thank you
Thank u sooo much sir
Really helpful. Thank you
Great Video.. Thank you
Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Really helpful. Thanks!
While I so have a Celestron Nexstar I just picked up a Tasco Galexsee... now those gears you use to elevate and transverse (control cables), the transverse works on my scope but the elevation, it's a 'declination control cable', does not work. Seems to not hit the gears. How does one disassemble these gear systems?
this was so helpful, thank you.
I am new to visual astronomy and bought that same scope. If anyone is thinking that it's claims are hype be assured that it performs exactly as advertised! I could not be happier with it.
One question for you Greg. Are there any software upgrades in the works such as expanding the list of targets?
Do you know the price and name of the scope?
@@alexturnerswife3265 It's the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ. It costs $400 USD.
Learnt a lot. Thanks.
Though the finder is aligned, I am unable to see anything from 25mm and 10mm eyepieces , without the eyepieces object is visible (at Orion 90mm, StartMax Table Top) - but with a dot in the 90 degree digonal
I’m just starting out w/my telescope & this is such great information-thank you!
Thx u so much it really helps
My Number One tip would be to extend the legs of the Tripod to full length, and it should not be much of an issue to align the finderscope with your 2 lenses in the Celestron 114 LCM atleast.
I bought a crappy ESSLN 700mm telescope. As soon as I put the eyepiece I see nothing but blurry light. I don't think they are broken but it's quite frustrating and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong since I can see through it without the eyepieces (happens with all of them). Any advice?
Which Telescope would be a better experience for beginners? STARSENSE EXPLORER™ LT 80AZ REFRACTOR or STARSENSE EXPLORER™ LT 127AZ ?
hello, can rhis be used for viewing shoips about 10 to 15 miles away
How do you fix your focuser? i can’t figure out why mine‘s not moving
Bro thank you so much I didn't know how to focus it
I removed the mirror end to get a scope out of the tube (I didn’t know the other end cap came off as it was really stuck). How do I repair the alignment of the mirror now. I’m really struggling to see anything.
Thanks good lesson
Wow very very helpful.
We have the F30070M we just really can't see a thing, Do we really need a phone to see through a telescope or can we look directly with our eyes through the lenses
I have the 90AZ-SR, but for some reason I cannot see through my 3x barrel. There’s no specifications on how to use it properly. I found mars and tried to use the 3x but it came out blurry, I tried to adjust it but even though I tried everything it did not work. Help
Good job thanks
very helpful
I bought an Astromaster 114 and in building It I messed it up somehow, asked Celestron for help but got zip ..it’s been sitting in my house for a few years gathering dust. :/ still believe it can be fixed but I’ve never able to find anybody with the necessary know how.
I have a celestron 130 EQ and I have been trying and trying to look through it in night and daytime but I cannot see anything. In daytime I see white - the light reflecting, but I can't find anything... What is wrong? Getting very frustrated!
“Find a house down the road” 😆 hello neighbor!
What if I have the type of telescope without one of those turn dials and it has some really long micro adjuster poles
Thankyou just got my 1st telescope 😊
tysm this helped a lot!😸
I have setup telescope celestron 5se but my 25 mm eye piece does not show any thing in day or night however, i can see object in diagonal after setting object using view finder. could you please guide me how to fix this issue. what can i do to set it up?
