Description

The Inspire 100AZ is a high-quality refractor telescope designed for both celestial and terrestrial observations. With its short-tube design, this telescope offers a wide field of view, making it an excellent choice for observing the Moon, planets, star clusters, and bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. Unlike many traditional telescopes, the erect image diagonal included with the Inspire 100 makes it equally effective for terrestrial viewing, allowing you to use it as a spotting scope during the day.

Why Choose the Inspire 100 Refractor Telescope?

1. Easy Setup and Portability

Setting up the Inspire 100AZ refractor telescope is incredibly easy, even for first-time users. This telescope can be assembled in just a few minutes, allowing you to begin your observation session without hassle. The tripod comes with a built-in accessory tray, eliminating the need for additional attachments.

For convenience, the adjustable tripod legs let you customize the height of the telescope or place it on a raised surface like a picnic table. Whether you are setting up for a quick backyard stargazing session or taking it on an outdoor adventure, the Inspire 100AZ is designed for ease of use and portability. The total telescope kit is compact and lightweight, making it perfect for transportation.

2. Manual Alt-Azimuth Mount for Smooth Tracking

This refractor telescope features a manual alt-azimuth mount with a panning handle clutch for smooth and accurate object tracking. Whether you are exploring the night sky or observing distant terrestrial objects, the alt-azimuth mount allows for effortless movement in an up/down, left/right motion. This makes tracking celestial objects as they move across the sky seamless and precise.

3. High-Quality Optics for Stunning Views

With the largest aperture in the Inspire series, the Inspire 100AZ refractor telescope gathers a significant amount of light, ensuring bright and detailed views. Whether you want to see the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the cloud bands of Jupiter, or deep-sky objects, this telescope delivers exceptional clarity and contrast. The short focal length provides a wider field of view, making it ideal for observing star clusters and nebulae.

4. Included Accessories for Enhanced Viewing

The Inspire 100AZ refractor telescope comes equipped with a comprehensive set of accessories to enhance your stargazing and terrestrial observation experiences:

• Two Kellner Eyepieces (20mm & 10mm): These eyepieces provide different magnification options to observe celestial and terrestrial objects in greater detail.
• 90° Erect Image Diagonal: This allows for right-side-up viewing, making it ideal for both astronomical and terrestrial observations.
• StarPointer® Pro Finderscope: Helps quickly locate and center celestial objects in your eyepiece.
• Integrated Red LED Flashlight/Mount Light: The built-in flashlight illuminates the accessory tray, helping you find and switch between accessories in the dark. It can also be removed and used as a standalone flashlight.
• Smartphone Adapter: Capture stunning images of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial landscapes with your smartphone. The adapter securely attaches to any telescope eyepiece with a 45mm or smaller outside diameter, allowing you to take breathtaking photos with your mobile device.

5. Smartphone Adapter for Astrophotography

If you’ve ever wanted to capture stunning images of the Moon, planets, or landscapes, the included smartphone adapter makes it easier than ever. Its light and rigid frame securely attaches your smartphone to the eyepiece, providing the additional magnification needed to capture sharp and detailed images.

The adapter installs easily by clamping over the top of an eyepiece, and bungee cords securely hold the phone in place. While most smartphones will fit with their case on, larger or bulky phone cases (such as folio-style cases) may need to be removed for a secure fit.

6. Starry Night Software for an Interactive Experience

With the Inspire 100AZ, you also get access to Celestron’s Starry Night Software, an advanced astronomy software package that helps you learn about the night sky. The software provides detailed information about celestial objects, allows you to plan observation sessions, and offers interactive features to explore the solar system and beyond.
