Astromaster EQ makes it easy follow the star over the sky with the EQ-mount. The telescope is portable, dual-purpose and appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, but with the primary focus is on the sky. 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.
