If you’re looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky.

The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.

How long will it take for my order to arrive? The Total Delivery Time for your order is calculated from the moment your order is placed until the time you receive it. The diagram below shows how your Total Delivery Time is broken down into two parts, pre-ship processing time and shipping time:

Pre-Ship Processing Time is measured from when you submit your order to when it leaves our warehouse. This time is needed for products that are shipped directly from the manufacturers to our distribution facilities. Manufacturers need this time to fulfil your order and in some cases, custom build the product.

Shipping Time is measured from when your order leaves the warehouse to when it arrives at your home or office. Your order will usually be delivered by either Australia Post eParcel or Australian Air Express courier services depending on your location. These services provide a fast and secure delivery method for your order.

*Estimated Shipping Times are based on estimated service standards promised by our couriers and are not a service level guarantee. Due to certain unforseen circumstances, shipping times could be less or more than the estimated shipping times above.
