Product Information

It is sturdy and practical and he and his dad can transfer what they see onto the computer screen and see it extra large! There will be a variety of Sigma Global Vision products and accessories available to show as well as a Sigma technical adviser here to answer any questions you may have. Planetarium software package which provides easy-to-understand explanations and impressive visuals of all kinds.

At the forefront of a new era in amateur astronomy, the launch of Celestron Origin stands as a beacon, seamlessly intertwining stargazing and astrophotography into a singular, user-friendly experience. ED stands for "extra-low dispersion," which refers to the composition and optical properties of the glass used for the lenses.

EclipSmart solar products feature Solar Safe filter technology providing the ultimate protection from harmful solar radiation, including both IR and UV light, and filters 99. But fiddly to find things as the finder scope and telescope probably need to be better aligned (setup issue).T-Ring (Canon) – To capture photos with your Canon EOS DSLR using Telescope tube as high focal length lens for camera. although at day time, you can see through it, although the eye piece is really small so it makes for uncomfortable viewing.

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 P has much larger aperture than the AstroMaster LT 76AZ with the same conveniences of the larger 150P such as its tabletop mount and collapsible tube, though it’s not much more compact than the 150P so we’d recommend the larger model if you can afford it. A range of apertures are available in the Celestron Powerseeker range to cater for different budgets and types of Celestial viewing, the current Powerseeker range includes 50mm aperture entry level telescopes such as the Celestron Powerseeker 50AZ Refractor, Altazimuth Mounted Telescope, through to 127mm Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ Telescope with Equatorial Mount, controlled using slow motion control knobs. For breathtaking views of brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light-gathering ability of the Newtonian Reflector.

The AstroMaster AZ mount head is a simple alt-azimuth design, much like a basic photo tripod pan head that allows movement up-down and left-right, with the only adjustment control being a handle to lock the altitude axis and a simple lever/brake clutch for the azimuth axis.

When correctly aligned with the 76AZ, the red dot finder makes aiming a breeze; however, if you are unable to align it due to its shoddy construction, using this telescope becomes even more frustrating when combined with its lack of fine adjustment capability on the mount.The entry level Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ Telescope is an ideal beginner telescope, coming with three eyepieces plus a 3x barlow lens, including the powerful 4mm eyepiece, to create a highest useful magnification of 118x, plus you'll see clear bright images from the 50mm aperture, complete with a tripod too, so you are up and running, observing the night sky in no time. The Celestron Powerseeker range includes the two major telescope mount types: Equatorial mount and Altazimuth Mount. While this telescope is just barely acceptable for beginners, astronomers looking for a satisfying first scope are likely better served by one of the 100-130mm tabletop Dobsonian options on offer. Setting up the spotter scope however is very tricky and frustrating, and the tripod is pretty wobbly. Easily observe the belts and moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments.

I have used the Barlow with the 20mm and with the Moon it has good effects however it seems like the scope is set up to work perfectly with just the 20mm. Celestron’s patented StarSense® Technology makes it easier than ever to locate objects in the night sky, even if you’ve never used a telescope before. The completely preassembled tripod has aluminium legs and provides a stable and vibration-free platform for mount and telescope. Unlike traditional telescopes, the RASA design ingeniously places the imaging sensor at the front of the telescope tube, creating an ultra-fast f/2. These instruments have been designed to offer the beginner the perfect combination of quality, performance and possibilities.

Powerseeker Telescopes are available in a range of designs including Refractor Telescopes and Newtonian Reflector Telescopes covering a good range of budgets and offering good magnifications enabling you to take your first steps to observing the night sky. Higher magnification is ideal for detailed planetary viewing, while lower magnification and wide-angle eyepieces are suitable for capturing the vastness of deep sky objects. This innovative software solves the time-consuming problem of trying to pinpoint the North Celestial Pole.
