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

Meade ETX-80BB (160 x 80mm) Telescope


Observe the feather structure of an eagle from 50 yards or study the rings of Saturn from a distance of 800 million miles. Then focus beyond the solar system to the universe of nebulae, remote galaxies and ancient star clusters. It's an adventure of discovery the whole family can enjoy, in the backyard or wherever your travels take you.Minimize


Carson Optical SkyView SV-350 Telescope


The Carson(tm) Optical SkyView(tm) 70-mm refractor telescope is designed to be rugged, trouble-free and easy-to-operated for the beginning observer. It features a focal length of 350 mm, a 45-degree diagnol, a power range of 14X to 87X, and an adjustable


Celestron NexStar 80 SLT 22086 (100 x 80mm) Telescope


A step up from the 60mm model, the NexStar 80 SLT Refractor gives images that are bright and crisp. The 80 SLT offers 80% brighter images than the 60mm scope. Like the other models in the SLT Series, the 80 SLT comes with a fully computerized hand control with a database of over 4,000 celestial objects! With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 80 SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze. A wonderful first-time astronomical scope, the 80 SLT can also be used as a great, land-based spotting telescope with optional erect-image diagonal.Minimize


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
