Carson Red Planet RP-100SP 76mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope with Smartphone Digiscoping Adapter

Overview

The Red Planet RP-100SP is a beginner-friendly Newtonian reflector that invites you to explore the night sky with ease. A 76mm aperture collects ample light, helping you see crisp detail on the Moon, and offering enticing glimpses of the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter when observing conditions cooperate. With a 700mm focal length, this telescope supports a versatile 35x–78x magnification range, giving you both broad views and more detailed close-ups without needing to swap gears mid-session.

Designed to look as stylish as it performs, the RP-100SP pairs a high-quality aluminum tripod and a U-mount with slow-motion controls for smoother tracking. Two included eyepieces (K20mm and K9mm) widen your viewing options, while the built-in finder scope helps you locate targets efficiently. The universal smartphone digiscoping adapter is retrofitted to fit over the eyepieces and works with phones up to 3.75 inches wide, so you can capture and share what you see with the built-in camera app.
