Large-aperture optics
The 70mm objective lens gathers plenty of light to provide a bright, sharp image. The multi-coating on all optics ensures high light transmission. With this telescope, you can explore lunar craters, the polar ice caps on Mars, the phases of Venus, Saturn's rings, and Jupiter. The planets at the edge of the solar system will appear as points of light, visible only under ideal conditions.
Package contents
The kit includes two eyepieces with focal lengths of 10mm (50×) and 25mm (20×), providing high-quality viewing at both low and high magnifications. A 2× Barlow lens lets you double the magnification of both eyepieces. The screen size mirror allows for more comfortable observation of terrestrial objects as it provides a correctly oriented, mirror-reversed image. The 6×24 optical finderscope helps you to quickly locate stars and planets.
