About this deal

Extras Red-dot finder, erect image star diagonal, 10mm and 20mm eyepieces, red light LED torch, printed instruction manual The question is...whilst I know we should get some pretty lovely views of the moon...does anyone have any idea if there's anything else we may spot? This telescope kit is great for transportation or spontaneous observations in the garden. It sets up in minutes, even the first time out, with no tools required. The included tripod has an adjustable height of up to 1.2 meters and a folding accessory tray connected. Turn on “Save Images & Logs” from the Menu as described above. After you use StarSense Explorer at night, there will be images and log files stored on your phone. Accessing them requires connecting your iPhone to a computer that has iTunes. Follow these steps to retrieve the files: The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130P provides a significant boost in light gathering and resolving power over the Inspire 100AZ at the same focal length, free of chromatic aberration and with a sturdy, easy-to-use tabletop Dobsonian mount.

The Inspire 100AZ refractor is a high quality telescope for those with beginner to intermediate levels of experience. The 100 mm Inspire is easy to carry and store, and is equipped with features heretofore unseen on entry level telescopes. These include fully coated glass optics, a sturdy alt-azimuth mount with a special asymmetrical design, a solid adjustable steel tripod with folding accessory tray, built-in smartphone adapter, integrated red LED flashlight, StarPointer Pro finderscope, erect image optics, and a focus micrometer for simple reversal to the same focus point. The extra magnification of your eyepiece will help you to take great photos of whatever it is you are observing, whether that is the the Moon and the Planets or anything on the ground if you are using it for terrestrial purposes (e.g. Wildlife). To fit the adapter, all you need to do is fit it on top of one of the eyepieces (instructions on how to do this are included in the box) and attaching the bungee cords. Your smartphone will then be held firmly in position. For the most part you can add your smartphone with its case on, but if you have an extra large case you may need to take it off for it to fit the adapter. Additional Accessories Q: the phone adapter etc come included?.......or are they optional extras?. I didnt read that bit. I assumed they come with it. The price as mentioned above may be a bit high, but such is life. I personally find Celestron products to be slightly over priced anyway. My 1st scope was a 90mm Celestron on an equatorial mount and i paid nearly 400 euros (i'll let you do the conversion). En ningún caso ves el planeta como en una foto: eso no, recordemos que es de iniciación, y estamos limitados por la calidad de la óptica, los aumentos y la atmósfera.

It's worth noting that because of its rather unusual hood design the Celestron Inspire 100AZ can't take solar filters, so should never be used to observe the Sun. Should you buy the Celestron Inspire 100AZ telescope?

Con el de 10mm se intuyen ya las divisiones en la atmósfera, es más grande que un punto gordito, se diferencian colores un pelín.

El trípode funciona bien, es estable. La luz que lleva para iluminar bajo el trípode es MUY útil y bien muy bien. La bandeja de oculares está muy bien también. As for other accessories, I would wait and see how the telescope performs. I notice the diagonal (which changes the angle of the eyepiece) is erect image - this means that what you see is the right way round. Normally for astronomy, the diagonal is not corrected and gives a flipped left right image (in space, there's really no right way round). The correction in your telescope's diagonal may not give the best views for the sky, although it'll be great for terrestrial use, so you might want to upgrade later. The phone adaptors can be bought and used on any telescope. Taking pictures this way you are limited to bright things like the moon and planets, the moon is around in the evenings and Jupiter in the mornings at the moment. Rather than taking a picture to get the best results you take a short video then use the free software registax or autostakkert to merg the frames into a single picture of better quality by taking all the best bits. A 40mm Plossl and 32mm Plossl provide the same field of view due to the limitations of the 1.25” barrel size, and the higher magnification of the 32mm means a bit more contrast under light-polluted skies with the Inspire 100AZ due to the smaller exit pupil. Almost any 32mm will do, and most of the cheaper ones are very similar, but we particularly like the 32mm Plossl from SVBONY– which is literally the same as the one Celestron sells at a significantly marked-up price. Our team of product advisors know what it’s like to buy astronomy equipment for the first time. There are so many types of telescopes and accessories that the process can be overwhelming enough without having to worry about pushy salespeople trying to make a big commission.
