IYA2009 Official Product: Celestron FirstScope



International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) Coordinators and the IYA2009 Global Sponsor, Celestron, are providing its Single Points of Contacts a special discount price for its first official product, FirstScope Telescope. This offer has been given to the Maldives Science Society (the IYA2009 National Node for Maldives) and as its Single Point of Contact I will be collecting orders from interested parties in the Maldives until 10th June.

The FirstScope is a wonderful keepsake for anyone interested in astronomy. This quality Dobsonian style telescope features a 76 mm aperture reflector optical tube.

FirstScope is an ideal entry level astronomical telescope. It is very easy to observe with, the user simply navigates the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of their desired object, making the viewing experience a snap! The compact design makes it easy enough to take with you on your next outdoor adventure.

FirstScope will be available at a special price of 24.50 USD plus shipping costs and import duty per telescope. The deadline for placing orders is 10 June.

Anyone residing in the Maldives who is interested in purchasing this telescope please mail your contact details to info@sciencemaldives.org
