6th – 8th Grade Prizes

1st Place Prize: Celestron StarSeeker 70mm GoTo Refractor Telescope

With StarSeeker telescopes, if you can push a button, then you can stargaze like a pro astronomer. Because the telescope does the rest, moving automatically and pointing right to any celestial object you select with the pushbutton hand controller.

This high-tech 70mm refractor telescope will turn even the absolute skywatching novice into an instant astronomer. It incorporates the latest computerized object-locating technology, which automatically points the scope to any target you select from the electronic library of 4,000+ astronomical objects! And it features the revolutionary SkyAlign technology, which makes the initial alignment of the telescope as easy as pointing the scope to any three bright stars or planets — and you don’t even have to know their names. You don’t have to know the constellations or know how to read a star map. StarSeekers make stargazing easy for everyone!
