You Don’t Need To Look Far For A Celestron Telescope
Finding the right telescope for you can be akin to taking on a second job. You want to pay as least as you can, but you want a telescope that does what you need it to do. There are many brand manes and a virtual alphabet soup of telescope model styles out there. Celestron telescopes are a good investment. Not only has Celestron been around since 1960, but Celestron telescopes have won awards, seen many firsts and have been used by professional astronomers. Celestron not only makes telescopes, but they import telescopes into America as well.
California Dreaming
Celestron telescopes were born in 1960 in southern California by founder Tom Johnson, who was not happy with the telescopes available on the market for his sons. So he decided to build them one by himself! He kept building telescope after telescope and soon Valor Electronics popped up, which later was renamed Celestron. At that time, the best telescopes had to be entirely hand made. By 1970, Tom Johnson and his designer team figured out how to mass–produce Celestron telescopes so they could be a lot more affordable and understandable.
Tom Johnson sold Celestron in 1980 to SW Technology, but the brand name and quality still can be found today. They haven’t rested on their laurels, but still strive to be the first with new technology to make Celestron telescopes more powerful and more affordable. They have a variety of distributors, retail outlets like Discovery Stores and LL Bean, and Costco and a user-friendly website, Celestron.com.
We’re Not Alone
Now you have your Celestron telescope in your hands in your home. Now, what do you do? If you’re not sure, you can ask Celestron. They have online tech support, telescope FAQ and downloadable Celestron telescope manuals – really a convenience for those who might buy a used Celestron telescope or receive one as a gift. If you’re not online, there is a phone number (310)803-5955 Monday through Friday during Pacific Coast’s business hours (which is a treat for East coast customers!)
Celestron isn’t just about telescopes, but also has a range of binoculars, spotting scopes and all the accessories you never knew you needed. They also have a educational mini-star encyclopedia in Sky Scout which combines GPS with a spoken astronomical encyclopedia. So, if you point it at the evening star, it will identify not only what you’re seeing, but tell you about it. How come they didn’t have this out when I was a kid?
