Meade DS-2080ATS Telescope$249.00 to $300.00

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$65.00 to $80.00

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

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

For those who want to experience astronomy but not get too committed, the Tasco Spacestation 60AZ may be the perfect scope for the first.

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.

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
