Celestron Cometron 76/700 Dobson

Ease of use is paramount

The Cometron Dobson uses a robust table mount, with which you move the tube smoothly horizontally and vertically. No alignment, no complicated electronics, just point, focus and enjoy. The 1.25″ rack & pinion focuser ensures precise focusing, while the red dot finder Helps in easy retrieval of celestial objects.

Thanks to its light weight of only 2.5 kg and stable wooden base, this model is perfect for spontaneous observations in the garden, on vacation or during a night under the stars.

Bright optics for the most beautiful objects

The 76 mm mirror collects over a hundred times more light than the human eye, which is enough to make the craters on the moon, the cloud bands on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and even the nebulae in Orion view. At low magnification, you can also easily comets observing, making this telescope one of the most accessible choices for those exploring the sky for the first time.

Fully equipped for immediate use

Celestron supplies the Cometron 76/700 Dobson complete with two eyepieces (20 mm and 10 mm) for different magnifications. The 20 mm eyepiece gives a wide overview image, ideal for moon, star fields and comets. The 10 mm eyepiece provides higher magnifications to see details on the moon or planets.

The telescope is ready to use in one minute - no tools required.

What you can see with it

• Moon: craters, mountains and lunar seas in clear detail
• Planets: Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, polar caps on Mars
• Deep-sky: Orion Nebula (M42), Pleiades (M45), Andromeda Nebula (M31)
• Comets: bright comets with visible coma and tail at low magnifications
