Celestron's AstroMaster Series Telescope has an Altazimuth mount that's great for viewing objects both in the sky and on land; it's particularly suited for object-oriented viewing like whale-watching, spotting birds and observing your favorite star or planet. Plus, it has a pan handle with clutch for smooth, accurate control. The refractor design is reliable and simple to use. Multi-coated glass optics produce crisp, clear images. A pre-assembled stainless steel tripod provides sturdy support in even the most rugged environments, and the accessory tray is a convenient spot for storing small items. Use "The Sky" Level 1 planetarium software to help you identify what you're looking at; it's loaded with a 10,000-object database.
