If you're interested in getting into astronomy, the Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ is an ideal choice of first telescope – and right now the already very reasonable price has dropped even further, with excellent deals in both the US and the UK. Head to Amazon for $84 off or £42 off sticker price.
We gave this telescope a strong four stars in our Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ review, and rate it as the best telescope for beginners, so we'd happily recommend it – for a budget-friendly telescope it punches above its price tag when it comes to features. A large, bright 102mm objective lens and generous 660mm focal length deliver quality viewing – you can use it for land-based observation as well as stargazing, which means you're getting even better bang for your buck.
A full-height steel tripod with accessory tray is included, and setup doesn't require any tools, making this a good pick for anyone who wants to just get started. There are some slight drawbacks – it's pretty heavy, and the build quality is fine but not outstanding (if you have a bigger budget, head to our general best telescope guide for some higher quality and more advanced options), but for the price this is an excellent beginner scope.
