  • Amazing Telescope!
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
Did a lot of research on the best telescope to buy, low maintenance with excellent images. Refractor vs Reflective was the question Refractor won hands down when you put everything together to get a well-rounded scope on a budget. Also bought a filter so as to take pictures of the moon, 2X Barlow lens and a 3X. Settled with the 2X as that is perfect. I also added a zoom lens where I can go from 7-24mm. My daughter loves this thing and we're always sky watching together. The image below was taken using my iPhone 15 Pro after I adjusted the exposure perfectly. It was amazing taking this detailed picture with such a simple setup. We have also seen Jupiter and 4 of its biggest moon, Mars, Venus and Saturn. Something happens to your spirit and mind when you see them for the first time with your own eyes. It's almost like they're whispering something to you like Hey! we were here the whole time. WOW! We forget we live in space and rotate around a star (Sun). What we do is pay attention to when objects are closest to the earth to get the most out of this telescope. Worth every penny. Now I want to buy the $1400 8SE from the same company since I want something that gathers more light, yet still small and easily portable. Dobsonian Reflector equivalent is a no go. ... show more

  • Ed’s 102AZ scope
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
Excellent beginner scope! First night saw Saturn and its rings! Optics very clear, hope to see Jupiter soon! Don’t get anything less than 4” diameter on a refractor! I may later step up to a 6-8 reflector but not yet. This scope is great! Really easy setup right out of the box, well worth it.

  • Perfect for Land Use
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
I am a beginner to astronomy so my expertise lies in seeing birds deer etc. Very clear excellent focus and magnification. I did get a zoom 8x20 Celestron eyepiece. I do suggest getting a 102 mm. If the telescope can't receive lite it can't magnify it... You can always magnify it with eyepieces. Also I may the past mistake of once getting a reflecting Telescope and the upside down images when looking at birds and animals soon may me put it away. I do not like motor driven mounts, I tried them they were nothing but trouble. The tripod slips on an excellent steel tripod in seconds. I will have to get use to smoothly moving the telescope but it really is not that hard. Every thing is well made. Refractor Telescopes hardly need any maintenance and are much more sturdier than reflectors. Reflectors are cheap. I will start looking at moons and planets soon and will update ... show more

  • Great beginner scope, needs better red dot
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
This telescope has been fantastic for me as a beginner. I have had fantastic views of many planets, clusters and deep space objects, tripod is not perfect but works well enough, might upgrade eventually. Red dot is extremely cheap and attaches very poorly. Has broken off multiple times with little contact. Right now is being held on with superglue. I am definitely going to have to upgrade this. ... show more

Celestron telescope, love this telescope. Great optics! Well made! Shipping done well! When one was shipped it got lost in shipping but with no hassles Amazon had another one shipped to me at no extra charge!

  • Optics are fine but mount is terrible
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
The 102mm aperture made for clear viewing of the moon's surface but that was it. The mount is terrible with no fine adjustment. After struggling to get an object in view, I could never get the object to stay in view as the mount moved the scope away. If you have $417 to spend only to view the moon by constantly holding the scope in place with your hand on the mount handle, then go for it. I returned mine and will wait for a better product with fine movement control to come available. ... show more

  • Great Beginner Telescope
Style: AstroMaster 102AZ
We love our Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ. We have always been fascinated with the moon, space, and planets. I bought this as a treasure my 11 year old son and 3 year old daughter can make memories with. We have not yet bought any extra accessories but will be purchasing a Barlow Lens soon to see how much more we can visualize. These photos were taken with an IPhone 14 in the lens and they are just incredible. We have moved on to now labeling the moon landmarks. You won’t regret this purchase! A year later and I finally read how to calibrate the laser. I should have taken the time to do that in the beginning but we were just so excited to use it. We still captured wonderful photos using it right out of the box. ... show more
