The Vixen Mobile Porta A70Lf 70mm f/12.9 Achromatic Refractor Telescope is engineered for beginner astronomers who crave clarity, simplicity, and portability. With a 70mm aperture and a 900mm focal length, this telescope offers powerful light-gathering capabilities, making it easy to see detailed views of celestial objects like the craters of the moon and Saturn’s rings. The f/12.9 focal ratio ensures sharp images, especially when observing planets and the moon, providing crisp, clear visuals that bring the night sky to life.

One of the standout features is its fully multi-coated optics, which maximize light transmission and reduce glare, ensuring that every object you observe is bright and defined. This level of optical quality is usually reserved for more expensive models, making the A70Lf a great choice for those who want professional-level performance without the steep price tag.

Portability is another key feature. Weighing just 10.8 lbs (4.9 kg) and equipped with a foldable mount head, this telescope is perfect for spontaneous stargazing trips or easy storage. The adjustable-height tripod has sturdy, quick-release clamps and can extend from 640mm to 1140mm, accommodating different viewing heights, whether you’re observing from a standing position or sitting down. The compact, foldable design makes it easy to pack up and take to a remote viewing location, allowing you to stargaze anywhere.

This telescope also includes two high-quality eyepieces—a 20mm eyepiece for 45x magnification, ideal for wide-field views of star clusters, and a 6.3mm eyepiece for 143x magnification, perfect for zooming in on the moon and planets. The included 90° erect-image prism corrects the image orientation, making the A70Lf versatile for both terrestrial and celestial viewing. The 6x24mm finderscope makes it simple to locate objects in the night sky, ensuring you won’t spend time hunting for stars or planets.

Additionally, the accessory tray keeps your eyepieces and tools neatly organized, so everything is within reach during your observation sessions. The telescope’s rack-and-pinion focuser ensures smooth focusing adjustments, allowing you to lock onto objects with pinpoint accuracy.

If you’re looking for a high-quality, beginner-friendly telescope that combines portability, ease of use, and sharp optics, the Vixen Mobile Porta A70Lf is the perfect choice.
