They bring all the excitement for the beginner level users and the astronomers. The user is at ease to observer the dark sky and even the far off lands all with just the change of the eyepiece. The confidence of this model is the challenge it gives as one may wonder how such old stars come under vision so easily and it is not just stars but also the planets, nebulae and the lunar. Proudly put before the many who wish to glance at the review that follows.
Design and Appearance: Telstar 700×76 Celestial and Terrestrial Telescope comes with an all-metal optical tube that can be assembled on a user-friendly tripod. The colour and finish is elegant and brings out its professional appearance. Unlike the refractor type of construction that user lens for observation, this model belongs to the reflector type and is been made up with the mirror based observation. Generally, the tube length of this type is shorter than those of the refractor telescopes. This Telescope makes it a sure one that opens up the deep sky and views even the distant galaxies.
Focal length and the Aperture: As the name states the focal length of this model is 700mm and the aperture is 76mm. with this long focal length, viewing of deep sky is a child’s play. The aperture is the size of the objective lens in its diameter. This is a major specification as it denotes the light gathering ability of the device. Only when the size of the aperture is more the power of viewing can be increased as the images under vision can be viewed brighter to observe.
Magnification and the Focus: Of course, the magnification is another important criterion for choosing the apt telescope. Telstar 700×76 Reflector Telescope offers a wide range of magnification like 35x, 53x, 105x, 175x, 263x, 525x of which the optimum magnification is 175x. Since its utility suits both the land and sky observation the user can select the best suitable magnification as the situation demands. Further, the focus system is of type Rack & Pinion; this gives an easy and simple mode of targeting the desired objects.
Eyepiece: The magnification can be increased with the use of the eyepiece, the provided eyepiece is 4mm and 20mm. further it can be increased by 1.5x or 3x using them, of which the 1.5x is the erecting eyepiece and the 3x is the Barlow lens. The erecting eyepiece is been provided in order to make this device serve for the land observation. Without the use of this erecting eyepiece, the images tend to be viewed up side down and this eyepiece corrects it to offer the right and straight images.
Mount and Tripod: With the thought of enhancing the convenience is been provided with the Alt azimuth mount and a sturdy and adjustable tripod made of metal. They help in allowing the user to operate hands free and with less stress. On the other hand it supports long hours of undisturbed observation.
