Celestron PowerSeeker 76 AZ Telescope
The Celestron PowerSeeker 76 AZ telescope is a Newtonian reflector for studying deep space objects and ground-based observations. The device is ideal for novice researchers and will help introduce children to the starry sky. Through the telescope you can view bright nebulae, galaxies and star clusters included in the list of objects in the Messier catalog. Optical glass elements are fully coated. The telescope transmits a high-quality and bright image - the mirrors are coated with aluminum and a protective layer of fused quartz, which increase the reflection coefficient. For the perfect picture, it is better to use the device away from city light. Lens aperture – 76 mm. The telescope comes with two eyepieces - a wraparound eyepiece with a focal length of 20 mm and a 4 mm one. Using them together with the included 3x Barlow lens, magnifications of 105x and 525x can be achieved. The crosshair finder will help you quickly find the desired astronomical object. The kit also includes an altitude mount, an aluminum tripod, and a planetarium program with information about 10,000 objects and the ability to print star maps.
