Celestron AstroMaster 90 AZ R-90/1000 Astronomical Telescope (SKU: 21063)

The Celestron Astromaster 90 AZ telescope is a meticulously crafted refractor telescope designed for azimuthal mounting on a durable steel tripod. Operating this telescope is much simpler compared to a Newtonian telescope, and its azimuthal assembly makes it incredibly user-friendly, allowing for quick and easy object tracking. This telescope is specifically designed for observing celestial bodies such as the moon, planets, and captivating objects in the deep sky. With its high contrast imaging, which is characteristic of refractors, it is highly recommended for urban stargazing, particularly for planetary observation.

With the Celestron Astromaster 90 AZ telescope, you will have the opportunity to witness:

• Craters on the moon, which are the result of cosmic collisions.

• The phases of Mercury and Venus, providing evidence that they orbit closer to the Sun than Earth.

• The shield of Mars.

• The belts in Jupiter's atmosphere and its four moons. By observing the changing positions of Jupiter's moons, we can witness a miniature representation of our solar system.

• Saturn's magnificent ring.

• The shields of Uranus and Neptune, planets unknown to the ancients.

• Bright asteroids like Ceres and Vesta.

• Comets, which are icy bodies traversing the solar system.

• The colors of stars, double stars, and variable stars.

• The Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Sagittarius Cluster, the Chi Perseus, and much more.

To embark on these extraordinary observations, all you need is a little commitment and patience. The results will undoubtedly be mesmerizing.
