Astroscan® 4 1/4″ Reflector Telescope

So versatile you can hunt for comets, scan broad vistas of the cosmos, or obtain bright, clear images of entire star fields and galaxies. The spherical design positions to any angle with the touch of a finger. The heart of this award-winning telescope design is a precise primary mirror — ground, polished, and tested to achieve the theoretical limits possible for its size. The result is images that appear crisp and clear without any distortion. A Newtonian Rich-Field reflector provides a breathtaking 3 degrees of field, literally making this instrument an open window on the Universe. With the Barlow Lens, you can view Saturn’s rings and the cloud bands of Jupiter. Winner of the 1976 Industrial Design Award, the Astroscan’s® creative design has eliminated the cumbersome and complicated mounts typical of most telescopes. Simply place its padded base on any firm, flat surface and you are immediately ready to observe. Its motions are positive and natural with nothing to tighten or adjust, and its simple enough for a child to use the first time out. Comes with a padded tabletop base, shoulder strap, 36-page sky guide, star and planet locator, and user’s manual.
