The National Geographic SRT70MM is for you if…

• You’re a parent who wants a real, educational telescope—not another STEM “toy” that ends up in a closet.
• You live in a suburban area and want a telescope powerful enough to deliver wow-worthy views without needing a trip to the mountains.
• You’ve tried astronomy apps and stargazing books and now want a hands-on, family-friendly way to explore the sky.
• You want to safely introduce your kids to solar viewing and capture it with your smartphone—without investing in complex astrophotography gear.
• You love the idea of stargazing on road trips, camping, or in the backyard, and need something lightweight, portable, and protected for travel.
• You’re buying your first telescope and want something that works right out of the box, no steep learning curve or technical frustration.

There’s something magical about seeing Saturn’s rings or the rugged surface of the Moon for the first time—especially when you’re sharing that moment with your child. The National Geographic SRT70MM makes those experiences accessible, meaningful, and memorable right from your own backyard.

Unlike cheap hobby scopes that frustrate more than they inspire, this telescope is designed to deliver real results. You don’t need to be an astronomy expert to get clear, steady views of lunar craters, Jupiter’s bands, or even sunspots—just a clear night and a little curiosity.

Setup is simple and intuitive, which means you’ll spend more time exploring and less time fiddling. The panhandle mount and red dot finder make it easy for anyone—adult or child—to track celestial objects smoothly, even on the first night.

The telescope includes two upgraded Kellner eyepieces (20mm and 10mm) that offer crisp, distortion-free views—ideal for beginners who still want quality optics. Its fast 400mm focal length delivers a wide field of view, making it easier to find and enjoy celestial sights like the Moon’s surface or the Pleiades star cluster. And because it uses the standard 1.25” eyepiece size, you’ll have the freedom to upgrade as your skills grow.

Whether you're planning a backyard stargazing session or packing for a family camping trip, this telescope is built to go where your curiosity takes you. With its padded travel bag and protective dew cap, you can take it on adventures without worry.

And when it’s time to share what you’ve discovered, the included smartphone adapter lets you capture and post photos that look just as amazing as what you saw. It’s not just a telescope—it’s a way to turn family time into discovery time.
