Manufacturer Product Description

A million things to look at. Perhaps more. Tiny points of light in the night sky magically become planets, galaxies and brilliant stars. Quality optics penetrate the inky blackness of space to reveal its wonders. And precision adjustment keeps space in the right space. This is the Bushnell Astronomical Telescope. Welcome to the universe.

Our NorthStar telescopes offer the amateur astronomer state-of-the-art computer-driven location and tracking capability with simple, push-button control. With a built-in data base of 20,000 celestial objects, you simply call up your target on the hand-held control module, enter a simple "go to" command and the Northstar computer does the rest. Once locked on, tracking the object for prolonged viewing is automatic. Our new RVO (Real Voice Output) models offer verbal communications. The remote, hand-held control module features red, backlit push buttons and a red, illuminated LCD read-out for easy viewing without impairing your night vision. The telescope also features our new 1x wide-angle, red dot finderscope. Additional features include a quick-release tripod and accessory tray for fast, easy assembly. The North Star 525x3 is great for first time astronomers, as well as experienced ones
