Meade NG-70 (140 x 70mm) Telescope


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


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


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 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.
