Features

• 70mm achromatic refractor — sharp, high-contrast views of the Moon’s craters, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, and bright star clusters
• 400mm f/5.7 focal length — a fast focal ratio that delivers wide, bright fields of view for easy target finding

• Panhandle alt-azimuth mount — smooth, intuitive single-handle tracking with no learning curve

• Smartphone adapter — capture photos of the Moon and planets directly through the eyepiece
• Full-size adjustable tripod — stable platform for observers of all heights
