Refractor · With Barlow Lens · Altazimuth Mount
This 70mm refractor telescope is perfect for a beginning astronomer. With a 70mm (2.75″) aperture, the telescope gathers enough light to view the moon and bright planets like Mars and Saturn. Three 1.25″ eyepieces are included, providing 35X, 70X, and 175X magnification. This allows the telescope to be used for stargazing and terrestrial sightseeing. To extend the telescope’s reach even farther, a 3X Barlow lens is included for triple the magnification. This will help when trying to spot Jupiter’s moons or Satrun’s rings. To make terrestrial viewing easier, a diagonal mirror is included to produce erect images. Since a telescope’s image is naturally inverted, the diagonal mirror flips the image so everything appears right-side-up again. The 45″ 2-section, height-adjustable tripod features an altazimuth mount for positioning the telescope. The light-weight design and quick-release mount make setup simple.
