- Model: Tasco Luminova 660 x 60mm Telescope
Review Tasco Luminova 660 x 60mm Telescope / Bushnell 40060660:These powerful refractor and reflector telescopes offering quality and many advanced features make lunar details crystal clear. Easy-to-use, slow-motion controls work with either an alt-azimuth or an equatorial mount. The 1. 25" eyepieces deliver sharp images and a wide field-of-view along with excellent eye relief. Notably lightweight and extremely portable, the Luminova is built for a lifetime of enjoyment. The Tasco Luminova 40060660 is a value-priced 800mm focal length refractor telescope, ideal for beginning amateur astronomers. It includes a solar viewing screen to safely observe the sun, as well as an altazimuth mount that is light and quite easy to use The Tasco Luminova 660x is a good 60mm beginners telescope, complete with all the accessories you'll need to study Lunar craters, Jupiter's moons, and even the rings of Saturn. The package includes a lightweight tripod, three 1. 25-inch eyepieces (H25, H12. 5, and SR4), two barlow lenses, a Moon filter, a Solar projection screen, and even a program disk that turns your computer into a desktop planetarium. [+]The Alt-Azimuth tripod included with the Tasco Luminova package is light and easy to use, but it doesn't track stars and planets as the Earth rotates. It's best to use the low power 25mm eyepiece to find your target, then use a high power lens to zoom in for a closer look. While "more power" is a good advertising slogan, I have more fun with this little telescope by keeping the power down. In fact, the best upgrade for this telescope is a low power Celestron 25mm E-Lux eyepiece (about 32x). The Celestron E-lux eyepiece has a much wider field of view than the standard equipment H25 eyepiece. A wider view means the Moon remains visible nearly twice as long, I see more than twice as many Milky Way stars at one time, and it's easier to find deep space objects like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy! As a general rule, 60mm telescopes perform best at magnifications of 120x or less. With a 6mm E-Lux eyepiece (133x) for example, I can actually see Saturn's rings or the pine needles on a distant tree branch more clearly than I can using Tasco's economy-grade high power eyepieces and barlows. The high power 400x and 660x images are basically useless because they are dim, fuzzy and hard to focus. Overall the Tasco Luminova 660x is a good beginners telescope with a generous accessory package. One of its virtues is that it can be easily upgraded with better eyepieces. For a little more money, the Nexstar 60 GT is a 60mm telescope complete with a computerized tracking system. In this price range, also take a look at Celestron's Firstscope 60AZ and Orion's Spaceprobe 3 Altaz, which come with better eyepieces right out of the box. -Jeff Phillips Pros: Low cost Lots of accessories Easy to add better 1. 25-inch eyepieces Cons: Does not track stars and planets Narrow field eyepieces. |

Review Tasco 40060675 Luminova 675 x 60mm Telescope / Bushnell 40060675:Perfect for the amateur astronomer. (Impressive-looking white lab coast not included. ) For an amazing look at our closest celestial neighbors, these powerful Luminova® telescopes are an intelligent choice. Quality optics, slow-motion controls and two mounting options provide sharp images, excellent eye relief and a wide field-of-view, while its light weight makes for easy carrying. A powerful but economical 900mm focal length refractor telescope for beginning amateur astronomers. Luminova® Features:36x, 72x, 225x, and Land eyepieces6x24mm finderscopeMetallic champagne finishWeight 18. 5 lbs. Adjustable aluminum tripodIncludes Tasco SkyWatch CD-ROM with 10,000 object database, diagonal, moon filter, solar projection screenFor in-depth information on how to choose which Telescope is right for you and for detailed technical information, please click. Tasco's Luminova 675 is an affordable 60mm refractor telescope on a lightweight equatorial mount. The complete accessory package includes three 1. [+]25" eyepieces (H25, H12. 5, and SR4), a mirror diagonal, a moon filter, a solar projection screen, and even a program disk that turns your computer into a desktop planetarium. For the more advanced observer, an equatorial mount makes it easy to track the moon or a planet at higher magnifications. Simply point the polar axis at Polaris, the North Star, and the telescope will track planets with a simple turn of the slow motion knob. In practice, however, the light weight equatorial mount has its drawbacks. This telescope is tall enough that it becomes wobbly and difficult to focus at high power. (Young astronomers might prefer a simpler alt-azimuth telescope, such as Celestron's Firstscope 60 AZ. ) The standard equipment lenses and 3x barlow can be combined for a range of magnification from 36x with the H25 eyepiece all the way up to 625x by combining the SR4 eyepiece with the 3x barlow. Realistically, I get the best views of Saturn's rings at 120x using my own 7. 5mm eyepiece. An optical effect called diffraction shows up as little rings around the stars, and this limits the useful magnification of any telescope. With the Luminova 675, when I use magnifications over 120x bright stars no longer focus to sharp points, they look more like little bulls-eyes. The generous accessory package included with the Luminova 675 includes two Huygenian or H- type eyepieces. Unfortunately, these are an old fashioned design with 27 degrees apparent field of view, about half the field of more modern Plossl and MA designs. The narrow field means that some of my favorite deep space objects like the Pleiades and the Double Cluster don't quite fit, even with the low power eyepiece. –Jeff Phillips Pros: Good planet views up to 120x Complete accessory package Low maintenance design Cons: Narrow field H-type eyepieces Wobbly tripod. |
