Celestron Travel Scope Telescopes

Searching for a cheap telescope as an introduction to astronomy? Or are you looking to buy a telescope as a gift for the budding astronomer in the family? The Celestron Travelscope range of telescopes are an ideal first telescope or great beginner telescopes.

The Celestron Travel Scopes are refractor telescopes and are ideal for terrestrial and celestial observing while on the go. All Travelscopes include two eyepieces, providing a choice of magnifications for different types of observing. With a TravelScope you can view the moon, planets, star clusters and some brighter deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Pin Wheel Galaxy at night. Also, you can take advantage of the erect image star diagonal, this makes the optical tube ideal for using as a spotting scope during the day for observing wildlife.

Set up is simple and will have you observing in almost no time. No tools required for set up, all the Travelscope range include a tripod. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customise the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table. Once you’ve finished using the scope, you can pack it away in the included backpack and carry it home.

All Celestron TravelScope telescopes come with fully multicoated optics, this is something very few budget telescopes can boast. Fully coated optics offer much improved image quality, providing better colour depth and image sharpness when compared to other scopes at similar price.

The full range of Celestron Travelscopes include access to the Starry Night Software, great for beginners to understand and learn about the night sky, looking at what can be observed, providing images, useful facts and information too, a great learning tool.

The entry level Celestron TravelScope 50 boasts a 50 mm aperture and 360 mm focal length, this means you can obtain 45x magnification, giving superbly detailed images for a scope of its kind.

The larger TravelScope 70 has a larger aperture of 70 mm and provides brighter images as a result, whilst only being slightly heavier, but still very portable with the included backpack.

If you are looking to buy a cheap telescope and are on a budget but would like the best value telescope for the money including a bag, tripod, eyepieces, software, and everything else you need to start in astronomy, why not consider the budget range of Celestron Travelscope telescopes.
