Abstract

The universe is filled with innumerable wondrous sights, many of which are within the grasp of the Celestron Firstscope 114. I have been fortunate enough to view many of these for the first time thanks to the Celestron Firstscope 114 Deluxe (FS 114). This small telescope has opened up the wonders of the universe to me and begun what I’m sure will be a lifelong journey of discovery and awe. In this chapter I endeavor to give you a brief glimpse of some of the things I’ve found possible when using it. In addition I will share the modifications, accessories, and tricks I’ve used to get the most out of this wonderful scope.
