About this deal

There will be a variety of Sigma Global Vision products and accessories available to show as well as a Sigma technical adviser here to answer any questions you may have. At first glance, Celestron’s AstroMaster 76AZ looks like a great choice – it’s the smallest reflector in the AstroMaster lineup and boasts respectable quality optics along with a simple alt-azimuth mount. Its primary mirror is spherical, but this isn’t an issue due to its long focal ratio and small size. The AstroMaster AZ mount head is a simple alt-azimuth design, much like a basic photo tripod pan head that allows movement up-down and left-right, with the only adjustment control being a handle to lock the altitude axis and a simple lever/brake clutch for the azimuth axis.

T-Mount/Adapter – To attach any DSLR directly in the eyepiece barrel when using in combination with DSLR T-Ring. EclipSmart solar products feature Solar Safe filter technology providing the ultimate protection from harmful solar radiation, including both IR and UV light, and filters 99.Higher magnification is ideal for detailed planetary viewing, while lower magnification and wide-angle eyepieces are suitable for capturing the vastness of deep sky objects. This issue stems from Celestron jerry-rigging the StarPointer to replace an earlier, low-quality sight that was originally on the AstroMaster telescopes. See the rings of Saturn, passing comets, the face of Jupiter and celestial bodies even further away. The Powerseeker 114EQ also comes with a 3x Barlow lens to give additional magnification for those more distant night sky objects as well as nearer objects in our solar system. T-Ring (Nikon) – To capture photos with your NIKON DSLR using Telescope tube as high focal length lens for camera.

Unfortunately, this lack of fine adjustment controls makes it unsuitable for telescopes designed primarily for viewing the Moon and planets like the AstroMaster LT 76AZ. Celestron has created a new range of beginners telescopes with this series, which are extremely good value for money. The Moon shows jaw-dropping detail, while Jupiter’s cloud belts, Great Red Spot, and four Galilean moons can be seen – though the disks and shadows of the moons can be hard to resolve even during a transit. Celestron Powerseeker Telescopes come in a range of focal lengths from 500mm to 1000mm focal lengths, the longer the focal length, the higher the maximum magnification.Quick and easy to assemble without any tools this telescope comes with a finderscope and steady tripod. While still subpar, even the equatorially mounted version of the AstroMaster 76 at least offers fine adjustment for its pointing which makes it a little more useful.
