For anyone who missed it, the class action lawsuit was over price fixing/stabilizing and covers purchases from 1-1-2005 to 9-6-2023. Here's a Morningstar article from December with a link to the settlement site. It looks like you can file a claim online until May 20, 2025, if you qualify (it is State specific).
Good luck!

"Did you purchase a telescope from January 1, 2005 to September 6, 2023?
A class action lawsuit and a settlement of part of that lawsuit could affect your rights. You may be eligible to receive a payment from a $32 million settlement."
"The group of people whom Synta has agreed to pay is called the settlement class, and it includes everyone who indirectly purchased one or more telescopes from January 1, 2005 to September 6, 2023, from a distributor/retailer that was manufactured by a defendant or alleged co-conspirator, while located in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wisconsin ("Indirect Purchaser States"). Typically, the qualifying telescopes related to this lawsuit were branded "Celestron," "Orion," "Skywatcher," "Zhumell" or "Meade."
Dior bags are typically not too far away. Should be fine.
This is a refractor not a reflector.

What's the difference? Asking as I am novice in this area
Celestron does make legitimately good telescopes, but you're going to have to spend quite a bit more. A decent one will probably run you at least $300.
My suggestion, if you're looking to get into this as a hobby, find an astronomy group and maybe go to a stargazing event, then you can see what everybody is using and what features you may want on your own telescope.
Also, beware of cheap Chinese plastic telescopes. There is currently a class action lawsuit against some of the sellers on Amazon.
Or get these ones for $90: https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-...8Y0VN?th=1
I had this scope and returned it because the image wasn't good and it was hard to find objects in the sky. That's not because of lack of experience -- I've been using telescopes for decades -- but because it's hard to move and the sighting scope is really cheap. If you're willing to upgrade to a better sighting scope, it might be okay, but then you're spending more money on something that isn't worth the money.
While it's more and currently out of stock, the AWB OneSky Reflector Telescope is a much better starting point: https://shop.astronomer
They are located next to Walmart's HQ warehouse and gets their overruns and returns from Walmart. I've bought from them before and one item I got from them was not as described. They apologized and it was easy to return. They have a very large volume so it does look like a lot of negatives, but % wise they are not bad.

I signed up for what I'm certain will be 57 cents after the lawyers get their cut.
