Celestron is the world’s #1 telescope maker, recognized for superior optics and innovative technology.
- Team Celestron member Damian Peach spent a few weeks in Barbados when Jupiter was at opposition to take advantage of the excellent seeing conditions. His Celestron equipment captured a crisp image of Jupiter with Io and Europa. Equipment: Celestron 14” EdgeHD
- •@astrofalls has taken astrophotography to a whole new level, linking up 3 Celestron RASAs to capture Comet C/2023 A3 from Texas. This setup is simply one of the most jaw-dropping we've ever seen! Bray's setup even picked up the antitail of the comet & the M5 Comet conjunction!
- Andrew’s (@cosmic_background) love for astronomy began the first time he saw Jupiter through a telescope. What sparked your interest in stargazing? Equipment: Celestron C11 Telescope
- Instagrammer @astromono_dani captured the Moon’s Mare Imbrium at different points in its phase cycle, highlighting different details. This is a great reminder to observe the subtle changes in the night sky from night to night. Equipment: Celestron 9.25” EdgeHD telescope
- I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night! Grab your telescope, gather your stargazing crew, and immerse yourself in the magic of this rare event.
- Throwback Thursday! Leonard Nimoy, a real-life amateur astronomer and Celestron telescope owner, once appeared in a Celestron ad with a C8.
- Over 2 months in the making—Nick Fritz captured his largest data set yet! Using his #C11 with #Hyperstar, he brought #M31 to life in a striking #SHOpalette.

- In one month, Mars reaches opposition. The Red Planet will be big, bright, & much closer to Earth than usual. Unlike 2018, Mars won’t be covered by a dust storm this time, so we’ll be able to see tons of detail. This event is truly a must-see for all astronomers. Are you ready?
