Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
To Infinity and Beyond!
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.
With the permanently mounted StarPointer and erect image optics, the Astromaster is ideal for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, also featuring a German equatorial mount with Setting Circles – to accurately locate and track sky objects so you can set your sights for that perfect view of the stars and other celestial objects of interest, all shown in crisp clear detail thanks to the all coated glass optics.
Quick and easy to set up using the quick release dovetail attachment with no tools required, the telescope also comes complete with a deluxe accessory tray for convenient storage of all your accessories, a rugged pre-assembled tripod with 1.25” steel tube legs as a sturdy, rigid viewing platform for much improved images, and The Sky Level 1 planetarium software with 10,000 object database and enhanced images to help you achieve the best star gazing experience from your scope and see everything you want to see. It’s out of this world!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely brilliant!,
By
This review is from: Celestron Astromaster 76EQ (Electronics)
After reading several mixed reviews about this telescope I eventually purchased it (despite more advanced astronomers calling it a smaller amature telescope) on the Saturday and was amazed when I found the huge box in my porch on Monday- super fast delivery! Inside the box was the telescope and mount with their parts, a quick set up guide, a manual on how to use the telescope, a manual on a disk and some software for tracking the planets. It wasn't too difficult to set up- took about half hour, the mount seemed a little confusing at first but after turning the knobs the controls where self explanatory. Locating planets using the red dot pointer was difficult but aiming through it points you in at least the right direction. There are 2 interchangeable lenses with this telescope one 20mm for locating a planet and one 10mm for more detail. The views I got where amazing! The moon nearly filled the whole view using the 20mm lens and I had to pan around using the 10mm as the moon went well outside the view, the details where so crisp I could count the craters and even could make out the mare imbrium and serenitatis very easily! I also saw Jupiter and 4 of it's moon's and the most rewarding yet the Orion nebula! My only complaints about this telescope are the red dot pointer and the tripod is a bit shakey but for a complete novice like me it's absolutely brilliant, well worth the money!

nice telescope, shame about the finder scope,

This review is from: Celestron Astromaster 76EQ (Electronics)
I actually downsized from a celestron 675 powerseeker, I wanted something slightly easier to cart around, but was extremely frustrated with the finder scope. The red dot to red dot finder should never have left the drawing board, it's diabolical. What makes things worse is the fact that it is built into the telescope. I now have to buy an optical finder- there's only so many batteries you can go through whilst trying to find a full moon!

celestron astromaster,

This review is from: Celestron Astromaster 76EQ (Electronics)
This telescope seems to be very well made and good value for money, unfortunately ours had a slight problem with one of the screws coming loose, despite this it does appear to be good quality and we were perhaps unlucky. We returned the item and were refunded with no bother. We are now considering whether to reorder the item or upgrade a little.
