If you're looking for a Celestron Telescope appropriate for celestial viewing, then the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ Reflector Telescope is for you.

The Celestron AstroMaster Series produces bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine Celestron Telescopes.
