Product description

More about the series Inspire...

The Inspire series combines proven optics with a new design:

  • The sturdy steel tripod has red lighting. This allows you to find the accessories on the accessory tray without losing the darkness adaptation of your eyes. You can even remove the lighting to use it as a small torch.
  • The accessory tray is not only practical, it also stabilises the tripod. On the telescopes in the Inspire series, the tray is an integral part of the tripod and cannot be unscrewed. You can simply fold the tripod together with the tray.
  • To enable you to align the telescope with an object, Inspire telescopes are equipped with a newly developed illuminated finder. Unlike other finders of this type, it does not simply project a dot, but two target circles. This prevents a target point from outshining the object you are actually looking for.
  • The dust cover of the Inspire telescopes has a built-in smartphone adapter. The smartphone is held in place by rubber bands, making the adapter suitable for virtually any model. You can remove the rubber eyepiece cups from the included eyepieces and insert the eyepieces firmly into the adapter. This ensures a secure connection.
  • The sensitive focuser is equipped with a scale.

The telescopes in the Inspire series are ideal for beginners in astronomy. Experienced astronomers looking for a second instrument that is quick to set up should choose an Inspire and enjoy the design advantages of this series! With an Inspire, you can take a quick look at the Moon and planets – or a current comet.

But that's not all: thanks to the upright image in the eyepiece and the convenient scale on the focus, the Inspire is also ideal for nature observation!

Celestron AC 80/900 telescope:

This high-quality refractor with fully coated optics is a medium priced beginner's telescope. The 80mm aperture allows you to explore the solar system, as well as providing the first views of the wonders of the wider universe. The OTA is attached to the mount via a quick-release, allowing the telescope to be set up in minutes without any tools or specialist knowledge required.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
