1. Introduction
The wonders of our universe have always intrigued Man. Ever
since that long-forgotten primordial dawn when man first walked
upright and raised his eyes above the earthly horizon, he has
been enthralled by the mysteries of the sky. It seems only
yesterday that Man learned to walk and then to fly. Today, his
footprint is upon the Moon and he is analyzing the sands of
Mars. We can only speculate what an infinity of tomorrows will
bring.In his centuries of search for knowledge, Man has used
many tools, yet only one has illuminated the silent mystery of
the twinkling stars. Only the telescope has enabled Man to see
what is out there—the quiet, awe-inspiring beauty of the |
|
Milky Way, the mountains and craters of
the Moon, the amazing yellow-brown rings of Saturn and the multitude
that is our universe. All are there as they were that first dawn,
waiting for you to see, to study, to question, to answer.
Your new Edmund Scientific Astroscan® is your tool for exploring
these universal mysteries. The product was one of the most intensive
development efforts ever undertaken by Edmund Scientific. It was
designed, engineered and built by Edmund Scientific to provide the
amateur and novice astronomer with some of the widest, brightest,
clearest astronomical views available. A precision optical
instrument, |
its simplicity of design provides a portability
and ease of use
rarely found in optical systems and eliminates the lengthy and
complicated preparations long associated with telescopic
astronomy. With proper care, your new telescope will give you
many exciting years of astronomical exploration. |
