Celestron telescope AstroMaster 70EQ

Even the smallest refractor shows you impressive pictures of the moon and planets. Thanks to the long focal length, not only are high magnifications possible, there are also no annoying color errors. Double stars and star clusters are also beautiful targets for this telescope. Thanks to the StarPointer red dot finder, you only have to aim at your target and you will see it in the eyepiece.

The equatorial mount is specially designed for observing the sky: If you align it on the Polarstern, you only have to adjust the telescope in one axis if you are observing planets at high magnification, for example. This will help you find your destination quickly, even after a short break. While observing is more comfortable, it takes a little more time to set up because you have to align the mount and balance the telescope with the counterweights supplied. But you don't need any tools for parallactic mounting either, and it only takes a little longer to set up.

The AstroMaster telescopes

If you are looking for a versatile telescope for both sky and earth observation, then the AstroMaster series is the right choice for you. The Amici prism that comes with the lens telescopes delivers upright, right-sided images with every eyepiece.

An AstroMaster not only offers breathtaking views of the moon, of Saturn with its ring, Jupiter with its bands and moons, of nebulae and star clusters. You can also observe the sun's activity with an optional sun filter. If you are less interested in the members of the solar system and more interested in the brighter deep sky objects such as the galaxies and nebulae, we recommend one of the Newtonian reflectors with a larger light-collecting aperture.
