ASTELE
95 (Astronomical Telescope / Spotting Scope)
|
ASTELE 95 G |
|
|
The ASTELE 95 is a versatile
astronomical telescope, spotting scope and
telephoto lens that can be used for astronomy, target
spotting, bird watching, nature studies etc.
|
|
|
The optical design of the ASTELE 95
is Maksutov Cassegrain.
This design uses a meniscus optical correcting lens
which produces the highest possible quality image with it’s primary mirror, and
which seals the telescope from dust, dirt, etc., contaminating the optics of this instrument. Plus, it
makes this professional quality instrument more rugged and also keeps the
optical elements from coming out of alignment.
Another important feature is that this instrument uses a mirror to magnify the image not a lens.
Whether you are looking at a black-capped chickadee or the planet Saturn,
the ASTELE 95
will
provide you with razor-sharp images. The ASTELE 95
uses U.S.
standard 1.25" O.D.-sized eyepieces (hundreds are available).
If you're looking for a
telescope that's easy to setup, very portable, fun to use and has superb optics,
look no further. Ideal for the beginner or the
advanced amateur.
The ASTELE 95 is available in two models:
- The ASTELE 95 OTA
(Optical Tube Assembly)
- The ASTELE 95 G (German Equatorial
Mount, shown)
The ASTELE 95 G (German Equatorial Mount) comes
with slow-motion controls, setting circles, polar
axis finder, accessory tray and fully adjustable aluminum tripod.
Finish: black or blue star map (shown).
Photo adapter for standard cameras, and lens shade are available separately.
