The Zhumell Z100/ Orion SkyScanner 100 vastly outperforms the AstroMaster LT 76AZ with its larger aperture and wider field of view, along with similar provided accessories and a sturdy, easy-to-aim tabletop Dobsonian mount. Celestron’s patented StarSense® Technology makes it easier than ever to locate objects in the night sky, even if you’ve never used a telescope before. Celestron Powerseeker Telescopes are a range of budget telescopes for beginners and are excellent value for money telescopes that are great as an introductory telescope for astronomy. Altazimuth mounts allow the telescope to move up down and side to side and are great for terrestrial use allowing you to adjust the position and follow moving objects easily. Setting up the spotter scope however is very tricky and frustrating, and the tripod is pretty wobbly.

Plenty of double stars can be resolved with the LT 76AZ but you may have a hard time finding them or keeping them in the field of view, especially at higher magnifications. While still subpar, even the equatorially mounted version of the AstroMaster 76 at least offers fine adjustment for its pointing which makes it a little more useful. I'd love to be able to see (some of, if not all of) the planets and I'd love to be able to see any natural, or artificial satellites. although at day time, you can see through it, although the eye piece is really small so it makes for uncomfortable viewing. The optical óres are treated with multiple layers to increase the luminosity and sharpness of the genes.All of Celestron´s PowerSeekers include a full range of eyepieces plus a 3x Barlow lens that provides an increase in viewing power hundreds of times greater than that of the unaided eye! You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I have recently bought a 76AZ and seen some incredible sites of the Moon, Venus was good to observe too (all through the 20mm) However Mars was a disappointment probably due to its size; and when I attach the Barlow Lense the zoom is there but the quality is definitely compromised. Our patented SkyAlign alignment technology makes setting up a computerized telescope simple, fast, and accurate.

Uranus and Neptune are merely fuzzy dots, barely distinguishable from stars if at all, and with moons far too dim to see with such a small scope. Astrophotography is permitted as well, but feel free to check out /r/astrophotography for more of that. With a diverse collection of eyepieces, we can customize our observations for an immersive stargazing experience.
