Description

If you re looking for an entry-level telescope that does it all, you ve come to the right place. This incredibly balanced telescope is ideal both for space viewing and daytime observing. Most entry level scopes at this price point are 60mm or smaller. But with a larger 70mm aperture this telescope has a third more light gathering power than smaller scopes. The fully coated achromatic 70mm primary objective lens, is maintenance free and ready to use right out of the box. With a 700mm focal length, combined with 3 include eyepieces and a 2x barlow lens you ll enjoy a range of magnifications from 35x to 350x. That makes this telescope ideal for just about any observing application. The aluminum tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. With the equatorial mounting, the telescope is designed to move in any direction -- making it possible to track the movements of stars as the track across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale in conjunction to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope in any direction with a smooth, steady motion. This bundle includes our Universal Smartphone Camera Adapter, which will fit virtually any smartphone on the market today and is a great low-cost introduction to astrophotography.
