Meade NG-70 (140 x 70mm) Telescope

$62.00 to $100.00



Recently upgraded from 60mm to 70mm aperature, Meade's NG70 telescope combines improved light-gathering ability with light-loss-reducing special optical coatings to produce noticeably sharper images of both celestial and terrestrial objects, making for a much better viewing experience. All the major planets except Pluto are clearly visible. The Moon stands out in near three-dimensional detail, revealing craters, mountain ranges, and fault lines. Dozens of external galaxies are visible; and, in our own Milky Way, this telescope displays hundreds of nebulae, star clusters, double and multiple stars, and variable stars.Minimize

Tasco 49060700 (60 x 700mm) Telescope


For those who want to experience astronomy but not get too committed, the Tasco Spacestation 60AZ may be the perfect scope for the first.


Meade DS-2080ATS Telescope


Meade Digital Series telescopes bring microprocessor technology and the very latest in electromechanical design to the serious beginning or intermediate observer. Completely re-engineered and redesigned, Meade DS-2080AT telescopes provide extremely smooth motions in both altitude and azimuth, and, most importantly, include a fully integrated Autostar control system as standard equipment. Oversize bearings on both telescope axes of all models negate the imprecisions found universally, virtually without exception, on competing models.Minimize


Tasco Specialty 49TN Telescope


A classic, hand-held telescope with a gleaming brass finish and leatherette trim. Extends from 5.25" to 14" and includes an attractive leatherette carry case with wrist strap and belt loop.


Meade NG-60 (20200) (233 x 60mm) Telescope


A perfect beginning telescope designed specifically for land use, and an occasional peak at the sky. The tripod mount that holds the telescope is designed to move only in straight lines, called Altazimuth.Objects in the sky move in semi-circles, never in straight lines.Use lower power eyepieces to track the Moon, and keep it in the eyepiece.Minimize
