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

$50.00 to $79.00



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

Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ (100 x 114mm) Telescope


The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.Minimize


Meade LightBridge 10 in. Deluxe (600 x 254mm) Telescope


It's not just a big telescope. It's a big telescope that goes anywhere. New LightBridge truss-dobs from Meade take down and set up quickly. So you can take one of these massive windows on the universe out to your favorite dark sky locations with ease. LightBridge dobs give you high quality Meade optics, premium components, and ultra portability - all for about the same price as an ordinary tube dob. So get a LightBridge truss-dob. And prepare to cross the universe.Minimize


Bushnell NorthStar 78-8890 (300 x 90mm) Telescope


The NorthStar® telescopes offer amateur astronomers state-of-the-art computer-driven location and tracking capability with simple, push-button control. With a built-in data base of 20,000 celestial objects, you simply call up your target on the hand-held control module, enter a simple "Go To" command and the NorthStar computer does the rest. Once locked on, tracking the object for prolonged viewing is automatic. The innovative RVO (Real Voice Output) feature provides a fun, interactive way to explore the night sky.
