When not in use, always keep your telescope in the handy case. With proper care it will give you a lifetime of clear focused use. Your TASCO 1 ATE telescope is a precision instrument manufactured under exacting standards by skilled craftsman. **Patience when siting this telescope, it appears to be quite sensitive! Sight through the eyepiece and slowly close the focusing tube (eyepiece tube) until the object comes into sharp clear focus.

#Tasco telescope 9s upgrade#
This month Celestron announced in Sky & Telescope a new upgrade of its computerized 5- and 8-inch telescopes, which allows then to be fitted with optional GPS technology.This is a very nice vintage Japanese Telescope with a black leather outer coating and a 3 tier retracting chrome telescopic tubes. Celestron’s dominance in the Schmidt-Cassegrain market was eventually superseded after Meade began making Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes in 1980. Since then the company has claimed many milestones, including the first commercially successful computer-pointed telescope and the first telescope to incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. In 1991 the FTC stopped a proposed merger of the two, citing that such a venture would create a “virtual monopoly in the manufacture and sale of midsize Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.”Ĭelestron’s founder, Thomas Johnson, began selling Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes in the 1960s, but it was the introduction of a mass-produced 8-inch model, the C8, in 1970 that lofted the company to international status. Recently Meade had expressed an interest in purchasing the struggling company. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) moved to block Celestron's chief competitor, Meade Instruments, from acquiring any of Celestron’s assets. Our senior management group is committed to guiding the Company and maintaining its aggressive new product development initiatives and manufacturing.” Indeed, the senior management group, including Lupica, Hedrick, and former company president Alan Hale, is one of several entities presently looking into buying Celestron intact. Lupica, as saying “It is our intent to ensure that Celestron continues to operate as an independent company.
Furthermore, a press release issued by Celestron yesterday evening quoted company executive vice president of operations, Joseph A. Late last night Celestron’s vice president of engineering, Rick Hedrick, told Sky & Telescope that despite Tasco's woes Celestron is fully staffed and “continuing normal operations” at its Torrance, California, headquarters. In 1998 Tasco purchased Celestron, becoming the sole owner of the California-based telescope manufacturer that changed the world of amateur astronomy when it began mass marketing high-end Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes in the 1970s.Ĭurrently it is unclear whether Tasco’s liquidation will mean that the company is sold intact or in pieces. Telescope giants Tasco Worldwide and Celestron International are once again in the news following yesterday’s announcement that Tasco is liquidating its assets after defaulting on nearly $30 million in loans. Last year Celestron created a significant buzz among amateur astronomers when it introduced a dramatically redesigned 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that features a carbon-fiber tube and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
