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

Meade LXD75 SN-8 AT (08047502) (500 x 203mm) Telescope


Meade LXD75 SN8-AT UHTC is an 8 inch Schmidt-Newtonian reflector type telescope with 812mm focal length and fast f/4 aperture and Meade Ultra High Transmission Coating, for 20% more image brightness over its non-UHTC sister model.


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 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 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
