Comments about Celestron AstroMaster-90 AZ 90mm 3.5"/90mm Refractor Telescope Kit:
This is the first Telescope I have ever used and I am very satisfied with it. I couldn't believe when I was able to see Jupiter with the 10mm Eyepiece. For a first time Telescope this is the one you need.

Bought it for my husband who has been bugging for one. Comparable products sold for over $200, and I found it cheapest on the whole interenet here at B&H.
