Telescope Celestron AstroMaster 70EQ

The Celestron AstroMaster telescope is an easy-to-use model that will work very well as the first telescppe. Even the inexperienced users can easily handle its operation and can conduct fascinating astronomical observations. Through it, you can observe the most interesting objects in our solar system and enjoy a good-quality image at the same, which even shows the details of the observed celestial bodies.

Refracting telescope for beginners

Celestron AstroMaster 70EQ is an achromatic telescope whose maximum magnification of the observed object is up to 140x. This is made possible by a 900 mm focal length and a lens diameter of 70 mm. Such a lens makes it possible to observe large and bright celestial bodies under the city sky. The telescope is not large, so it can be conveniently carried around.

The AstroMaster 70EQ is capable of collecting 98 times more light than the human eye, and the result is a high-quality and bright image, as well as good resolving power. Thanks to this, we can also see the details of the observed objects, and the telescope's focal ratio of f / 12.9 significantly minimizes the occurrence of achromatic aberrations.

What can you see through it?

The AstroMaster telescope is a refractor whose optical system consists of a lens and eyepieces, therefore it is best suited for observing planets, the Sun and the Moon. Through the eyepieces of the telescope, you will be able to see sunspots, craters on the moon, rings of Saturn, and even moons and belts in Jupiter's atmosphere. Perhaps you can even observe the brightest galaxies, star clusters and nebular systems. However, certain conditions have to be met, alternatively you’d want to choose a different model of the Celestron telescope, the focal ratio of which and the aperture are larger.

The set with the Celestron AstroMaster 70 EQ telescope also includes the 1.25 "mirror, the Red Dot finder that allows you to easily find the object you are interested in, as well as a stable, minimizing vibrations tripod and two lenses. Its inseparable part is also the CG-2 equatorial mount, which follows the movement of the observed celestial body. The Celestron AstroMaster telescope is a good-quality, mobile equipment designed for the first astronomical observations.
