Celestron 102/660mm EQ-3 Refractor Telescope – Product Description
The Celestron 102/660mm EQ-3 Refractor Telescope is a powerful and well-balanced refractor telescope designed for beginners as well as serious hobby astronomers who want high-quality optics with a stable equatorial mounting. Featuring a 102mm multi-coated doublet objective lens and a fast 660mm focal length, this telescope delivers bright, sharp, and high-contrast views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects such as star clusters and nebulae.
Built for stability and smooth tracking, it comes equipped with a heavy-duty EQ-3 German Equatorial Mount, supported by a height-adjustable stainless steel tripod for excellent vibration control. The mount includes large flexible slow-motion control knobs on both axes, allowing precise manual tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky.
The telescope is fitted with a 2-inch focuser, along with a 2" to 1.25" step-down adapter, providing compatibility with a wide range of astronomical eyepieces and accessories. Included in the package is a 25mm Plössl eyepiece for wide-field viewing and an erect image 1.25" prism diagonal, making it suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial viewing.
For easy targeting, the telescope includes a Red Dot Finder, helping users locate objects quickly. It also comes with a free mobile phone holder, and the tube clamps feature an upward-facing mounting screw that allows users to attach the holder securely—perfect for using astronomy apps such as AstroHopper for guided sky navigation.
The complete kit includes a stainless steel counterweight shaft, a 1.9 kg counterweight, tube clamps with a 5.5-inch dovetail plate, and a convenient accessories tray to keep your eyepieces and tools organized during observation sessions.
With its strong optics, sturdy EQ mount, and excellent included accessories, the Celestron 102/660 EQ-3 is an ideal telescope for anyone looking to explore the night sky with clarity, stability, and ease.
