Our take on the Celestron Firstscope Signature Series Moon by Robert Reeves Telescope (22016)

The Celestron FirstScope Signature Series Moon is a small tabletop Dobsonian reflector made with lunar imager Robert Reeves. Its 76mm spherical mirror and wide field of view give bright, sharp views of the Moon's craters and mountains, and it also shows Saturn's rings, open clusters and the Orion Nebula. Setup is minimal: take it out of the box, insert an eyepiece and point it by hand. It suits beginners and casual skywatchers who want something light enough for a camping trip or a bookshelf, and it competes with other 76mm tabletop reflectors on simplicity and portability rather than on aperture or tracking.

About the Celestron Firstscope Signature Series Moon by Robert Reeves Telescope (22016)

The Celestron FirstScope Signature Series: Moon by Robert Reeves is a compact Dobsonian-style Newtonian reflector with a spherical glass mirror and 76mm (2.99") of aperture. It was developed with lunar imager Robert Reeves. Its wide field of view shows the Moon's mountains and craters, and it can also be used to view the Milky Way, open star clusters, Saturn's rings and deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula.

The telescope is a manual tabletop Dobsonian. To use it, take it out of the box, insert an eyepiece, and rotate the azimuth axis toward the object you want to view. It is compact and lightweight, so it is easy to carry along on a camping trip, picnic or hike.

It comes with a custom wrap that highlights 10 lunar features to explore, including Tycho, Plato and Copernicus. Robert Reeves' Lunar Landscape eBook covers crater sizes, how maria are formed and the natural history of the Moon.

Questions and answers

Is the FirstScope good for a beginner?
Yes. It arrives assembled, needs only an eyepiece inserted, and is aimed by hand, so there is no alignment or setup routine to learn. Its wide field makes it easy to find the Moon and bright objects.
What can I see with a 76mm reflector?
The Moon in good detail, Saturn's rings, Jupiter and its moons, open star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula. Faint galaxies and fine planetary detail are beyond its reach.
Does it track objects automatically?
No. The mount is a manual Dobsonian-style alt-azimuth base, so you rotate it by hand and re-center objects as the sky moves.
What is included in the box?
The telescope, a Dobsonian-style tabletop base, an eyepiece, and access to Robert Reeves' Lunar Landscape eBook. The tube carries a wrap highlighting 10 lunar features.
How does it compare with the standard FirstScope?
It uses the same 76mm optical design and simple mount. The Signature Series adds the Robert Reeves lunar wrap and eBook, which make it a more guided introduction to Moon observing.
Can I take it traveling?
Yes. It is compact and light enough for a camping trip, picnic or hike, and it can sit on a desk or shelf when not in use.
