Learning or interested in Astronomy? This Sky-Watcher 70/700 Refractor Telescope is a highly affordable telescope that allows beginners to take their first steps into Astronomy. Se veral accessories are provided, and this telescope is suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. Unlike many other beginner telescopes on the market, this Sky-Watcher 70/700 comes with a standard 1.25″ focuser allowing a broad range of eyepieces and accessories for a better viewing experience. Equipped with a user-friendly alt-azimuth AZ2 mount, this Sky-Watcher telescope can move in horizontal and vertical axes. It is designed for viewing the Sun (Solar Filter REQUIRED), the moon and bright planets, and terrestrial observation during the day. The Refractor AdvantageImages viewed through a refractor telescope have a classic quality that other telescope designs lack. Since a refractor does not use mirrors to view objects, you get a generally sharper image. Images are also displayed without the secondary mirror shadow, making it suitable for terrestrial viewing when used with a 45° erecting image diagonal or an erecting tube. Superb Imaging QualitiesThis achromatic refractor from Sky-Watcher features an aperture of 70mm, and is fully multi-coated to enhance light transmission. It delivers clear, high-contrast images of the moon and the planets. Those new to astronomy will appreciate how simple and easy this telescope is to use.
