More about Manual Telescopes...

Manual telescopes are a great place to start for anyone who wants to get into backyard astronomy. It's easy to find the Moon or to point the telescope at random nighttime objects until you gain the knowledge to locate and focus on specific star clusters, planets, and constellations. We have manual reflector, refractor, and cassegrain telescopes so you have a lot of options when it comes to choosing the right scope for you. Whether you want a telescope for daytime, nighttime, deep space, or the Moon and planets, our selection has got you covered. Manual telescopes make great gifts for anyone interested in space, including beginners, experts, kids, and adults. They're the basic tool you need to get into stargazing.

You also have the option of adding other accessories to most of these telescopes. We sell separate go-to computerized and GPS mounts that you can add to your purchase at a later time. Our 1.3, 3.0, 5.0, 9.0 and 14.0 MegaPixel cameras can be added to any telescope that uses 1.25" eyepieces.
