Celestron 21062 AstroMaster 70 EQ Refractor Telescope








An Exceptional Telescope for $108.56



An Excellent Buy And

Quality Pricing Too

   Lets not be fooled by the cost of this telescope.  It is a Celestron and comes with very high approval ratings.  It is a five star rated product at Amazon, with most buyers being very happy with the purchase.

  
As a beginner in 1966, my first telescope was a 3" Refractor and it gave many hours of enjoyment.  This enjoyment was in learning and spending time with family members.

  
If you are looking for a very reasonably priced telescope, you cannot go wrong in purchasing this scope.  There is a 58% savings.

   
Additional purchases should be made by a beginner.  Amazon recommends: Small Telescope and How to Find Them.  I recomend you also buy a good Star Chart.  These additional items would bring the total cost to about $150.00

 GREAT 5" BEGINNER TELESCOPE

     As a beginner in Astronomy, it is not necessary to have the biggest and best Telescope you can buy.  I started with a three (3) inch Refractor Telescope and was completely satisfied.  However, if you are involving your children in this as a hobby, I would go for an intermediate level Telescope.  I will make suggestions about types and brands, so you can make an informed choice.
