For both novice and intermediate astronomers seeking a high-quality, user-friendly, and innovative tool for celestial exploration, the Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope is an exceptional choice. As the flagship model in the Inspire family line, this telescope boasts the largest aperture, allowing for the entry of more light and the production of brighter, clearer images of larger, fainter deep sky objects.
This durable and sturdy telescope is packed with unique features that set it apart from other entry-level telescopes. It comes equipped with fully coated glass optics, ensuring optimal clarity and contrast in your astronomical observations. The solid altazimuth mount, with its unique asymmetrical design, provides stability and easy tracking of celestial objects across the night sky.
The Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope also features a robust steel tripod with an integrated fold-up accessory tray for convenient storage of your astronomy tools. The built-in red LED flashlight illuminates your accessory tray with a soft red glow, and can be easily detached to provide light where you need it most.
Ease of setup is another key feature of this telescope. With a quick-release dovetail mount, setting up your telescope is as simple as opening the tripod legs, locking the accessory tray, and attaching the telescope tube to the base.
The telescope also includes an integrated smartphone adapter built into the lens cap, allowing you to capture high-power images of your celestial discoveries. Simply secure your smartphone against the rubberized friction surface on the outside of the cap, adjust the bungee cords, and you're ready to photograph the cosmos through the imaging port.
The Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope also includes a focus micrometer, a numbered scale that indicates the focuser's position, allowing for quick return to specific focus points. Whether you're observing a bird's nest or gazing into infinity, this telescope is designed to provide clear, detailed views of your chosen targets.
In summary, the Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope from Celestron's Inspire series is a versatile, high-quality instrument designed for anyone passionate about exploring the night sky. Its user-friendly features and durable design make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced astronomers alike.
