Looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial
and celestial viewing? Then the AstroMaster Series is just for you! Each
AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky.
The AstroMaster Series produces bright, clear images of the Moon and
planets. Easily observe the belts and moons of Jupiter and the rings of
Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For breathtaking views of
brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the
larger aperture and light-gathering ability of the Newtonian Reflectors.
Whether you’re interested in watching whales, spotting birds, viewing nature,
or observing your favorite star or planet, the Altazimuth-mounted models are ideal.
Alt-Az models come conveniently equipped with a pan handle and built-in clutch for easy
targeting and smooth motion. Models featuring the German Equatorial mounts are perfect for viewing stars,
nebulae, star clusters, and planets. The built-in setting circles aid in locating these magnificent objects.
