The Inspire 100AZ comes with a pair of eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), a red LED flashlight to preserve night vision, an accessory tray, a StarPointer Pro finderscope and a smartphone adapter for basic astrophotography, making it suitable for both terrestrial (on land, daytime) and celestial views. The latter is easily resolved with a careful selection of one of the best eyepieces. During our Celestron Inspire 100AZ review, we did detect some false color (which we'd expect at this price) and blurring in the field of view. While it's suitable for beginners, it isn't a perfect telescope. It includes a much wider range of accessories than the majority of starting telescope packages, making it a complete and affordable set for those who want to try their hand at astronomy. With its ease of setup and use, the 100AZ is a great choice for beginners who want to get started in astronomy without the hassle of a complicated telescope. However, the 100AZ's focal ratio is f/6.6 which lets in more light and so we'd recommend this model for brighter nighttime observations. Also in the Inspire range is the Inspire 80AZ with a focal ratio of f/11.3 and the Celestron Inspire 70AZ with a focal ratio of f/11. The Celestron Inspire 100AZ (which features the largest aperture in the Inspire family) is a top, top choice of telescope for beginners and, we think, the best beginner telescope for astrophotography.
