## Description

Product Description The ultimate telescope for the novice to intermediate astronomer, the Inspire 100AZ features the largest aperture in the Inspire family line and its short tube offers a wider field of view perfectly suited for larger, fainter deep sky objects. Packed with features never seen before on entry level telescopes, Inspire features fully coated glass optics, a solid altazimuth mount with a unique asymmetrical design, a sturdy steel tripod with integrated fold-up accessory tray, an integrated smartphone adapter, built-in red LED flashlight, large projected reticle finderscope, erect image optics, and a focus micrometer for easily returning to the same focus point. The Inspire has the easiest setup of any telescope in its class. Simply pop open the tripod legs, turn the lock knob on the accessory tray, and attach the telescope tube to the base using the quick release dovetail mount. You are now ready to observe! The lens cap has an integrated smartphone adapter built into it. Place your smartphone against the rubberized friction surface on the outside of the cap so your camera is viewing through the imaging port. Secure the smartphone using the two adjustable bungee cords. The inside of the lens cap has a fitting that secures to your eyepiece using two set screws. Voila! You are now ready to take high power images through the telescope. The mount has a red LED flashlight built-in. Turn the flashlight on to illuminate your accessory tray with a soft red glow. The flashlight can easily be removed from the mount to provide red light where you need it most. The focus micrometer is a numbered scale that indicates the focuser’s position. It allows quick return to a specific focus point for specific targets such as a bird nest, infinity focus, etc Box Contains 1 x Inspire 100 mm AZ Refractor

Review: Great refractor telescope - Fairly light and easily portable. Very easy to align using the sight tool. Useful choice of magnification eye pieces. Moons of Jupiter, Saturns rings all easy to see. Great for starter. Straightforward to use. Very stable. Good value. Impressive.
Review: 4.5/5 - Excellent Beginners Telescope. - Firstly and most importantly: Right out of the box, you can have a good time with this telescope! This is NOT a department store hobby-killing piece of junk like so many cheap telescopes can be. Bought this telescope in Apr24 and has been an excellent tool to start my journey through the night sky with. The telescope itself is excellent for beginners. Easy to set up, lightweight and comes with some nice features like the mobile phone adapter and built-in light. Minor Flaw: After a few months of use, the altitude axis (up and down) is still very smooth and sharp, however the azimuth axis (swivel left and right) is starting to become a bit stiff. Not too much of an issue yet but will become frustrating in time. Upgrade Your Experience: The eyepieces that it comes with are usable but 'meh'. If you want to bump up your experience without buying a whole new telescope, upgrade the eyepieces to a set of decent Svbony red/gold line wide-angle lenses and you will have a great time with this telescope looking at the moon and planets etc.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you get a moon lense to fit the 100m and if so which one do you need?**
A: Yes. I purchased the "Celestron 94119-A 1.25 Inch Moon Filter, Black" at the same time as the telescope.

**Q: Where is the finder scope mount? An astro scope is no good without it. Can't see it pictured.**
A: It comes with the star pointer pro red dot findascope. This attaches on to the telescope and allows you to line up where you want to look.

**Q: Is it possible to attach a nikon dslr camera?**
A: If you got a mount yeah, but it would be heavy and I am not sure the stock tripod would hold it. Unless you upgraded to a more expensive tripod

**Q: When set up, what height is the tripod**
A: The maximum height of the tripod to the telescope fitting is 117cm. The legs are adjustable so could be used lower than that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fab telescope
*by A***X on 22 February 2018*

After watching “The Wonders of The Moon" documentary a few weeks ago, it really sparked my interest in the night sky. I am a complete novice and was looking for a decent starter telescope. I came across this one which also includes a smartphone adapter to take pics through the telescope which I thought was a nice added feature. It arrived well packed, and was really simple to put together, maybe ten minutes. There are parts that only need setting up once with batteries etc. The tripod is all ready to go out of the box, and the telescope part just slides on. No tools are required, which is great as I don’t own any! There’s a built in tray which holds the two eyepieces, which is lit by a removable torch in a red glow, and the red dot finder scope that helps align the telescope is very cool. On my first try I managed to capture a really nice picture of a crescent moon, and the lit accessory tray really made sense when standing in the dark in my garden. I could get started right away as there are batteries already included for the torch and finder scope. I look forward to playing with it some more!
