If you are looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial & celestial viewing, then the Astro Master Series is for you. Each Astro Master model is capable of giving views of both land & sky.
The Astro Master Series produces bright, clear images of the Moon & planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter & the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies & nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture & light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.
