Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ

Compact, powerful, and ready to use without tools

The Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ combines a generous 102 mm aperture with maximum simplicity. The 660 mm focal length (f/6.5) provides a wide, bright field of view: in addition to the Moon and planets, the brightest deep-sky objects also come into view, such as the Orion Nebula and the Pleiades. The entire set is ready for use within minutes without tools.

Wide field of view, intuitive operation

The short focal length shows the complete Pleiades or the entire lunar disc at a glance. The altazimuth mount with panhandle points precisely as you direct, with no learning curve. Realistically usable is up to about 204x for planetary detail with an additional eyepiece or Barlow.

Completely delivered, also for during the day

The 20mm and 10mm eyepieces provide 33x and 66x magnification. The erect image via the included prism also makes the telescope suitable for daytime nature observation. The lightweight aluminum design allows you to carry it all at once to the garden or balcony.
