The $48 discount on its original price of $230 is found on Amazon, but we’re no sure how much time you’ve got left to take advantage of this offer. It’s not a good idea to wait until the last minute of the shopping event as stocks may be gone by then, so if you want this telescope, you’re going to have to proceed with the transaction immediately.

Why you should buy the Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ telescope
