At Mashable, we're big fans of telescopes (especially from the brand Celestron, which is a leader in space-related instruments). It's a full moon today (a harvest moon, which is the closest full moon to the autumn equinox) and, as if to honor our lunar companion, Celestron is treating casual astronomers to some out-of-this-world telescope deals. Our favorite telescope deals as of September 29 are below:
