Details

If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky.

The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.

Motor DriveThis model includes the motor drive for automatic tracking.

Moon With AstroMaster 90eq

Moon With AstroMaster 90eq

This image was taken from my apartment balcony one evening.

The camera was connected to the telescope with the prime focus technique using a T-Ring Adapter and no magnification.

Great result with modest equipment.

Shows some great features of the Moon.
