## Overview

The Celestron Inspire 100AZ is a beginner-friendly refractor telescope featuring a large 100mm aperture and wide field of view, perfect for deep sky and terrestrial observation. It boasts a unique asymmetrical mount for stability, a built-in smartphone adapter for easy astrophotography, a focus micrometer for precise targeting, and a removable red LED flashlight to preserve night vision. Designed for quick setup and solid performance, it’s ideal for novice to intermediate astronomers eager to explore the night sky with style and ease.

## Description

The ultimate telescope for the novice to intermediate astronomer, the Inspire 100AZ features the largest aperture in the Inspire family line and its short tube offers a wider field of view perfectly suited for larger, fainter deep sky objects. Packed with features never seen before on entry level telescopes, Inspire features fully coated glass optics, a solid altazimuth mount with a unique asymmetrical design, a sturdy steel tripod with integrated fold-up accessory tray, an integrated smartphone adapter, built-in red LED flashlight, large projected reticle finder scope, erect image optics, and a focus micrometer for easily returning to the same focus point. The Inspire has the easiest setup of any telescope in its class. Simply pop open the tripod legs, turn the lock knob on the accessory tray, and attach the telescope tube to the base using the quick release dovetail mount. You are now ready to observe! The lens cap has an integrated smartphone adapter built into it. Place your smartphone against the rubberized friction surface on the outside of the cap so your camera is viewing through the imaging port. Secure the smartphone using the two adjustable bungee cords. The inside of the lens cap has a fitting that secures to your eyepiece using two set screws. Voila! You are now ready to take high power images through the telescope. The mount has a red LED flashlight built-in. Turn the flashlight on to illuminate your accessory tray with a soft red glow. The flashlight can easily be removed from the mount to provide red light where you need it most. The focus micrometer is a numbered scale that indicates the focuser’s position. It allows quick return to a specific focus point for specific targets such as a bird nest, infinity focus, etc.

Review: Great telescope! - Bought as a Christmas gift and just used. Was able to see the moon very well. Kids love it. Sight included needs to be calibrated with the telescope. I didn’t get the chance but still was able to spot the moon without it. Haven’t tried the included software yet
Review: Nice telescope - I’m a casual backyard astronomer and I bought this to leave out near my back door to check out a few planets or the moon.I like the way this is built. It looks and feels very solid. It’s a good looking telescope. It’s obviously not that James Webb, but for the money, I think it’s a good deal and I enjoy it. Also, the finder scope works well although it’s a little confusing to figure out how to use it for the first time.

## Features

- Easiest setup of any entry level scope. With the folding accessory tray you just pop the tripod legs open, turn the lock knob and you’re ready to go.
- Bold new design - The main telescope lens cap comes with a fully integrated smartphone adapter built-in, perfect for the budding astrophotography.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a beginner!
*by M***H on March 11, 2025*

I have never owned a telescope. This was so easy to set up. I did order a Celestron moon filter kit due to the brightness of the moon. Received it just in time for the Parade of Planets. Now, the planets just look like bright stars through it, although we are pretty sure we saw the rings of Saturn. I do recommend for general moon watching. Or even wildlife/landscape. I am a review reader. And I usually start with the bad lol. BUT, sometimes, the low star ratings are meh. I recommend this for the money, if looking at the moon and some small constellations is what you prefer.
