Bought before Christmas to see the conjunction but realise that I’m not going to see much from my garden except trees, TV aerials and lamp posts. Not much point in it sitting in a box in my shed so it might as well go. Box has been opened but all that has been removed and handled is the instructions.

All photos and info from Celestron website as the telescope is still packed and seems silly to unpack to take pictures.
