Product description

Achromatic Optics for Detailed Views
At the core of this telescope is a double-element achromatic optical system that minimizes color aberrations. With its 70 mm aperture and 700 mm focal length, you can examine lunar craters, rills, and mountain chains in detail. Features on Jupiter (such as cloud bands and moons), Saturn's rings, and bright deep-sky targets like the Orion Nebula or Andromeda Galaxy become clearly visible.

Smooth Crayford Focuser
Unlike standard entry-level telescopes with rack-and-pinion focusers, this telescope includes a ball-bearing Crayford focuser (Horizon series). It provides smooth, precise focusing even at maximum magnifications. A locking screw allows you to fix the focal position firmly.

Daytime Terrestrial Observation
The included 90° 1.25" Amici prism turns the telescope into a high-magnification spotting scope for terrestrial viewing. It generates an upright and non-inverted image, making daytime observation of birds, wildlife, and scenery comfortable and easy.

Equatorial EQ Neo Mount & Stable Stainless Steel Tripod
The EQ Neo parallactic mount simplifies star tracking. Once aligned to the celestial pole, tracking an object requires moving only a single axis (right ascension). Enclosed dust-protected worm gears on both axes ensure precise movement via flexible shafts. The height-adjustable stainless steel tripod (67–104 cm) provides superior rigidity, featuring removable rubber feet that reveal metal ground spikes for solid stability. An integrated accessory tray keeps eyepieces organized.

Smartphone Astrophotography
The included smartphone adapter attaches your phone to the eyepiece to take photos of the Moon and planets. The Bluetooth remote shutter release ensures blur-free images by eliminating camera vibration when taking pictures.
