Celestron Moon Mission 100mm tabletop Dobsonian review

Celestron’s mini-Dobsonian provides affordable, accessible access to the night sky.

The short version

• The lack of a tripod means this telescope does have its limitations but any stable, flat surface will suffice.
• Adults may be needed to help smaller children install the thumbscrews that hold the eyepiece in place.
• The Moon Mission's focuser can be a little finicky, as we discovered.

What happened

You'll likely use the eyepiece more frequently than the finderscope. As a Newtonian reflector, the Celestron Moon Mission 100mm Tabletop Dobsonian provides an inverted image.

Why it matters

The scope comes with 8mm and 20mm eyepieces, and can handle most 1.25-inch eyepieces.
