Product description

More about the series Inspire...

AC 100/660 telescope

Its 100 millimetre aperture means this telescope collects quite a lot of light - especially as, in refractors, there is no secondary mirror shading of the image. The 100/660 optics provides a wide field of view and is therefore ideal for viewing large areas of the night sky and for extended nebulae. So you can follow our Milky Way with this telescope, discovering open star clusters or observe our prominent neighbouring galaxy in Andromeda. Even comets with extended comas can be detected with this telescope.

However, the short focal length leads to significant chromatic aberration with bright objects at high magnification. Longer focal length refractors are hence more suitable for observing the Moon and the planets.

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.
  • We also provide an edition of the exciting astronomy magazine, “Sterne und Weltraum” with each telescope.
