Description
The Celestron Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope is a great choice for beginners who want to explore the wonders of the night sky. This telescope has a 100mm aperture, which means it can gather more light and produce brighter images than smaller telescopes. It also has fully coated glass optics, which reduce glare and enhance contrast. The telescope comes with a lightweight and easy-to-use Alt-Azimuth mount, which allows you to point it in any direction with a simple twist of the knob. You can also use the panning handle to move smoothly across the sky. The telescope includes two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), an erect image star diagonal, a red LED flashlight, a StarPointer Pro finderscope, and an integrated smartphone adapter. The eyepieces let you choose between different magnifications to view your target object, whether it’s the moon, planets, star clusters, or deep sky objects. The erect image star diagonal lets you use the telescope as a spotting scope during the day, or as an upright telescope at night. The red LED flashlight can be used to illuminate the accessory tray or as a spotlight when needed. The StarPointer Pro finderscope helps you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing. The smartphone adapter lets you attach your phone to the telescope and take photos or videos of what you see.
The Celestron Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope is easy to set up and use, and it comes with everything you need to start observing right away. It is perfect for beginners who want to learn more about astronomy and enjoy the beauty of the cosmos.
