What You Need to Get Started in Astronomy

The AstroMax Introductory Astronomy TELESCOPE Kit offers the easiest way for you, your family, or friends to get started in the hobby of astronomy.

First of all, you will need a good telescope, and we have found a quality alternative to the traditional 60-mm "department store" telescope. Then, you will need good star charts to guide you on your way.

Now, AstroMax offers everything you need in one place, at a Great Price, including the telescope, a tripod on which to mount it, and star charts to begin your exploration of the night sky: Our AstroMax Introductory Astronomy Telescope Kit.

Telescope and Star Charts

In our AstroMax Introductory Astronomy TELESCOPE Kit, you get an ASTELE® 70 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope from LOMO® PLC, a Bushnell Field Tripod on which to mount your new scope, a copy of the First Light Astronomy Kit from David Chandler and Company as described below, and a membership in the American Association of Amateur Astronomers. A $399.95 value, all at a great price of only $260, from AstroMax, the AAAA Online Store

Our ASTELE® 70 Maksutov-Cassegrain 70-mm telescope is manufacgtured by LOMO® PLC in St. Petersburg, Russia, and retails for $289.95. It has been star tested by AAAA President John Wagoner. Not only does it have an excellent field of view and crisp star images, but it is a quality alternative to that cheap 60-mm "department store" telescope you may be thinking of buying. 

David and Billie Chandler's First Light Astronomy Kit is the best introductory observing program on the market. The First Light Astronomy Kit contains more than $40 worth of essential resources for the beginning amateur astronomer. Available in science museums around the country, it is a great value when purchased as part of the AstroMax Introductory Astronomy Telescope Kit.
