The sun is setting earlier, giving you a longer chance to get a view of the night sky. You can see stars, planets, meteors, and more with this Celestron telescope deal at Amazon for Cyber Monday.

Celestron-AstroMaster 114EQ Newtonian Telescope-Reflector Telescope for Beginners $199.96 (Was $319.95)

This telescope is great for older kids who want to learn more about the sky or someone with a budding interest in the stars. It’s just as user-friendly as it is powerful, and the package includes 2 eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), a full-height tripod, and a StarPointer red dot finderscope. You also get a free download of Starry Night, a software program that helps you learn about what’s in the atmosphere. I’ve personally seen the moon through a telescope and it is indeed super, super, super cool.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “How can I support one of my favorite 151-year-old brands while fulfilling my desire to own a telescope of my own?”, it’s your lucky day. Our telescope, made in collaboration with Celestron, is up to $100 off this Cyber Monday.

This telescope under $500 is a beginner-friendly model with an even friendlier price. The short tub provides a relatively loose view of celestial objects, so beginners won’t get frustrated trying to find specific areas. Plus, the short tube design keeps it small and light, so this is a great scope to keep as a backup for quick jaunts out into dark sky country without lots of gear.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
