(Before It's News)

A few months back, we gave away a Celestron FirstScope Telescope to a lucky fan, Will Wilson.

Will wrote in with a few “action” pics of his telescope:

Some pics of the Celestron. I wanted to take some at night but my phone camera doesn’t perform well in the dark. So far we’ve looked at the moon, Saturn, and Titan.

We recently gave away a second Celestron Firstscope, and will be giving away an Orion SkyScanner Reflector Telescope in the next few weeks. To stay in touch with the telescope giveaways, check out the Dear Astronomer Facebook page at:
