The 70mm refractor telescope combines fully coated glass optics with a lightweight frame to provide clear, crisp images of both terrestrial and celestial objects. Ideal for on-the-go observation, this telescope is perfect for viewing the Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. The erect image star diagonal also makes it suitable for daytime use as a spotting scope.

Ease of setup is a key feature of this telescope, requiring no tools for assembly. This allows for immediate observation, making it perfect for beginners or those who want to start stargazing without delay. The adjustable tripod, which comes with an accessory tray, enables height customization and stable placement on various surfaces.

The telescope is equipped with a manual Alt-Azimuth control, including a slow-motion rod for smooth and precise pointing and tracking of celestial objects.

Accessories that come with this telescope include:

Two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm) for varying magnifications.
An erect image star diagonal for right-side-up viewing, suitable for both terrestrial and celestial viewing.
A finderscope to aid in quickly and easily locating objects.
A 3x Barlow lens to triple the magnification power of each eyepiece.

In addition, this telescope package includes a download of Celestron’s Starry Night Software. This leading astronomy software provides an extensive database of 36,000 celestial objects, along with printable sky maps and enhanced 3D renderings of stars, exoplanets, and galaxies. It's an invaluable tool for planning your observing sessions and expanding your knowledge of the night sky.

Whether you're a novice astronomer or an experienced stargazer, this 70mm refractor telescope is an excellent tool for exploring the wonders of the night sky and the world around you.

Solar Warning	Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it. Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
