Celestron is a widely recognized, iconic telescope brand that many immediately associate with the hobby. Beginning amateur astronomers trust Celestron to deliver valuable products that they can trust for years to come, and for good reason. These finder scopes and guide scopes are inexpensive, easy to use, and have all the features both beginners and more experienced astronomers need to get the most from their observation sessions. You can even use your phone as a guide with the Celestron StarSense Explorer.
No matter what telescope model you use, however, a finder scope is indispensable. Finder scopes and guide scopes come in a few different varieties, and the right one for you really depends on comfort and what’s easier for you to use. One option is a right-angle finder scope, like this 9x50 Right Angle Illuminated Finder Scope. You can also try a red dot finder scope, like the Celestron Star Pointer Finderscope.
