Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ Telescope

The Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ Telescope is an excellent telescope for anyone wishing to take up astronomy as a recreational and/or educational hobby or who is looking to upgrade from their first basic telescope.

Thanks to the erect image optics, what you see through the telescope is the right way up and this makes the AstroMaster 70AZ fulfil a dual role as it can be used not only for celestial exploration but also for terrestrial viewing of landscapes, seascapes, buildings, mountains etc.

It is simple and quick to set up this telescope and so, depending on cloud conditions, you will soon be able to view such features of the night sky as clear, bright images of the Moon and the planets plus smaller details such as the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

The SkyX software supplied with the telescope will allow you to find out the location of celestial objects that interest you or identify those you see through your eyepiece but whose names you not know.
