Celestron AstroMaster 76 EQ Telescope
The Celestron AstroMaster 76 EQ telescope is designed for beginner astronomers. High-quality glass optics with multi-layer anti-reflective coating provide high-quality and bright images. Through this telescope you can observe thousands of astronomical objects: planets, stars, star clusters, comets. To accurately point the telescope at an object, the design uses an improved finder with a StarPointer red dot, and the telescope is manually controlled. The telescope is comfortable to use thanks to a whole range of thoughtful features: dovetail mount for installing an optical tube; convenient shelves for accessories; pre-assembled tripod. It is mounted on an equatorial mount, which greatly facilitates stargazing. However, you can comfortably observe terrestrial objects, since the device can provide a direct (not inverted or mirrored) image. The Celestron 76 comes with a CD with the astronomy program The Sky, which will not only allow the observer to get acquainted with the starry sky, but also plan his observations for the future.
