| Galileo FS-80 Telescope$65.00 to $80.00

The Galileo FS-80 reflector telescope is a great beginner's reflecting telescope. The large 80mm primary mirror cell collects 33% more light than a 60mm refracting telescope. 1.25 focus housing permits the use of larger higher quality 1.25 eyepieces. Yoke mount makes the telescope easy to manage through altitude / azimuth (Up & Down, Left & Right) movement, and altitude slow motion control rod for precision adjustmentsMinimize

Powerseeker 114 EQ 4.5''/900mm f/8 Newtonian Reflector Telescope with German-Type Equatorial Mount & Tripod

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

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

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