Product Description

This GPS telescope does it all with just the push of a button. Simply turn the telescope on, choose the object you want to see on the handheld controller and the computerized mount does the rest. North Star alignment not necessary with GPS. This incredibly balanced telescope is ideal both for space viewing and daytime observing. With a large 70mm aperture this telescope has a third more light gathering power than most smaller scopes. The fully coated achromatic 70mm primary objective lens is maintenance free and ready to use right out of the box. The 700mm focal length, combined with 3 include eyepieces and a 2x barlow lens means you'll enjoy a range of magnifications from 35x to 350x. That makes this telescope ideal for just about any observing application. The iOptron SmartStar-G Alt-Azimuth Mount with GPS, a.k.a. The Cube, is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit. In addition, there are no "dead spots" -- so you can point your telescope anywhere above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount also comes standard with AC connection. The mount also accepts 8 AA cell batteries for use at home or in the field (Batteries sold separately). The revolutionary GoToNova computerized control system is the most technologically advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 50,000 celestial objects, including all of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the planets, you'll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button. The GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. Using the easy-to-use hand controller, you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go.
