Celestron AstroMaster 70EQ (90 x 70mm) Telescope

$115.00 to $170.00



If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky. 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

Celestron Omni XLT 127 (300 x 127mm) Telescope


Omni XLT series features the stable platform of the CG-4 mount and high quality optics. Using aspheric shaping technology in conjunction with hand-figuring the optics the Omni XLT presents an image with virtually no spherical abberation. We also added our famous StarBright XLT coating system to further enhance light transmission.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


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


Meade ETX-80AT-TC (270 x 80mm) Telescope


All of the major planets except Pluto are easily observable through Meade's brand-new 80mm (3.1) achromatic refractor telescope. You can study Saturn and its ring system; the primary cloud belts of Jupiter and its 4 major satellites; the Moonlike phases of Mercury and Venus; and much more.
