## Description

Product Description Discover the night sky with the Celestron AstroMaster 90EQ, a beginner-friendly telescope designed for casual stargazing, planetary observation, and deep-sky viewing. Its 90mm (3.5") objective lens gathers plenty of light, revealing, detailed views of Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, lunar craters, and distant galaxies like Andromeda. Fully coated optics boost brightness and contrast, delivering stunning clarity on every target. The refractor optics deliver detailed, right-side-up daytime views of landscapes, wildlife, or distant landmarks. After dark, enjoy the best the night sky has to offer, including the Moon, planets, and stars. The sturdy German equatorial mount features slow-motion control knobs that let you make precise manual adjustments in right ascension and declination, perfect for smoothly centering and following objects. Assembly is fast and frustration-free thanks to the simple design with just a few key parts; no tools are required. The adjustable full-height tripod ensures a stable base and can be customized for comfortable viewing for adults or kids, in a standing or seated position. The 90EQ comes complete with all the essential accessories you’ll need, including a 20mm eyepiece offering 33x magnification, a 10mm eyepiece offering 65x magnification, a 90°erect image diagonal, a StarPointer™ red dot finderscope to help you quickly locate objects, and a free download of Starry Night, the top-rated astronomy software to help plan your stargazing sessions. Weighing just 13.3 lb (6.21 kg) fully assembled, this telescope is easy to move and set up in your backyard or at a dark-sky site. Backed by Celestron’s 2-Year Warranty and US-based technical support, the AstroMaster 90EQ is the perfect choice for beginners eager to explore the wonders of the universe. From the Manufacturer If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky.The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.

Review: A Tip on Balancing the EQ Mount... - It took me a while to figure out how to properly balance the telescope on the EQ mount. The R.A. balancing was particularly troublesome... the counterweights always won. Then I realized the trick -- only install ONE of the counterweights. The mount comes with two, but you only need one for a telescope of this weight. After getting the balance right, it works like a dream. The slow-motion controls allow me to easily hone in on and track objects, and the optics of the telescope give a clear, vibrant view of the night sky.
Review: A perfect first telescope! - A perfect first telescope! Especially suited for lunar and planetary viewing. The views of the moon through this telescope are breath-taking! The EQ mount makes tracking objects so much easier once you get used to it; you will spend more time enjoying actually viewing, instead of fighting adjustments as with an AZ mount. Overall this is an outstanding scope! Well worth the jump up from the 70mm. For the highest contrast, sharpest views of the planets a refractor is definitely the way to go! Also, practically zero maintenance and no time spent collimating. Just put it on the mount and get right to viewing! Purchased Astromaster Accessory Kit: it's a decent upgrade for this telescope if you're on a budget, but I can't recommend it. The 15mm Kellner actually performs well for a cheap eyepiece. However, the filters in this kit are too dark for a refractor of this size, and you really won't get any benefit from them on the planets. You really don't need a barlow lens for this scope, because the magnification range is fairly narrow; you just need the right size eyepieces. Skip the kit and purchase the Agena AstroProducts EWA 9mm eyepiece instead; for $45 I challenge you to find a better performing eyepiece! It really takes views through this instrument to a whole new level! Very comfortable for extended viewing, with great eye-relief, a wide field of view, and excellent contrast! This single eyepiece makes every starter eyepiece in your collection obsolete! This entire line of eyepieces are incredible for the price! This scope really shines in the x111 to x166 magnification range. Sometimes it takes a little patience to really nail the focus, as the focuser adjustment is a bit coarse. If it's within your budget I recommend the prism diagonal 90 by William Optics which has a 15mm fine helical focuser adjustment (Agena AstroProducts carries it). It's worth every penny, and is an incredible upgrade. Looking through the Agena EWA 9mm on this diagonal is like having a new telescope, and everything I viewed was like looking at it again for the first time! The moon through these optics will simply blow you away! To get the most out of this instrument, upgrade the cheap, plastic diagonal, and don't buy the cheap "kit" lenses. Clear Skies! :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent choice
*by A***O on September 26, 2022*

My experience starts with their small travel scope that I've used quite often and did okay for its price. This scope is a huge upgrade in terms of quality. The tripod is excellent and can be fine tuned to center your target and the scope is a big upgrade compared to the travel scope I use. Combining this with celestrons 3x Barlow scope and their zoom lense that I originally used on the travel scope. Look forward to trying it out later tonight. It was easy to set up read the directions if needed they are pretty simple, but your just putting a couple pieces together. *A warning though it is pretty hefty so be careful carrying it* I also didn't have any issues regarding quality or damage to the item that others have experienced
