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

$135.00 to $270.00



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 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


Galileo FS-80 Telescope


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


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


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
