Celestron AstroMaster Series Telescopes

The Celestron AstroMaster Series Telescopes are dual-purpose telescopes appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing. Each AstroMaster Telescope model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky. The AstroMaster Series Telescopes 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 Telescopes. These Celestron Astro Master Telescopes are perfect for viewing objects inside the solar system. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, Celestron recommends the larger aperture and light gathering ability of Newtonian Reflectors, such as the Celestron StarHopper Series.

If your interest is strictly watching whales, spotting birds, viewing nature, or checking out your favorite star or planet the Altazimuth-mounted models of the Astro Master Series are ideal. Alt-Az models have a convenient pan handle with built-in clutch for easy targeting and motion. The Celestron Telescopes that feature the German Equatorial mount are a good choice for viewing stars, nebulae, star clusters, and planets. Built-in setting circle aids in locating these objects. When used for astronomical viewing, AstroMaster Telescopes yield breathtaking views of the Moon, Saturn with its ring structure, Jupiter and its belts and moons,nebulae and star clusters.
