Product Description

Product Description

Our Observer 70 is the perfect telescope for that budding astronomer in your family. This scope excels in both quality and performance. Its 70mm multi-coated achromatic objective lens - focal length 700mm focal length (f/10) - gathers 36% more light than a 60mm. And it's made of glass, not plastic, as you'd find in many department store models. The optical tube is supported on a sturdy aluminum tripod with accessory tray. This altazimuth model can also be used for terrestrial viewing. Standard accessories include a 10mm (70x) Explorer II eyepiece, a 25mm (28x) Explorer II eyepiece, 90-deg mirror star diagonal, and an EZ Finder II finder scope. One-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT FIRST TELESCOPE FOR A DECK!, May 19, 2009
By Eilonwyofllyr "eilonwyofllyr" (Newtown, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This telescope is a great first scope to set up on a deck to watch the lake and also the stars at night. It's a basic good quality beginner scope. Don't believe me? Feel free....I don't know much about them so I went and did my research to find one to meet my needs.....read about it here like I did! This website also recommends other telescopes for celestial viewing.
