The Orion Observer 70mm refractor telescope works well for both daytime terrestrial viewing and nighttime astronomical use. This special Kit version is packed with extra accessories including everything you need to start enjoying the hobby of stargazing. Thanks to its versatility and simple, easy-to-use mount design, the Observer 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is well suited to beginning astronomers. The telescope is outfitted with a smooth-action rack-and-pinion focuser which accepts 1.25" accessories and eyepieces. Housed inside the telescope tube is a multi-coated, achromatic glass objective lens that is 70mm in diameter, with a focal length of 700mm (f/10). This lens takes in 36% more light than a 60mm lens, meaning you'll be able to see more detail on both celestial and terrestrial objects. Compared to a 60mm refractor, the Orion Observer 70mm and its larger optics will reward you with brighter images and a larger repertoire of astronomical objects to see. You'll enjoy outstanding looks at the Moon's cratered surface, Jupiter's cloud bands and moons, Saturn and its rings, the majestic Orion Nebula, and the mind-boggling Andromeda Galaxy, to name just a few of the treasures you can see. The Observer 70mm Telescope Kit comes with everything you need to start observing the night sky right away. The included telescope eyepieces provide two different magnification options right out of the box! We recommend starting with the 25mm ocular to obtain wide, 28x views. Then for closer looks, you can boost the power all the way up to 70x by using the 10mm telescope eyepiece. The included Orion EZ Finder II red-dot sight makes aiming the telescope nice and easy. A 90-degree mirror diagonal is included for comfortable nighttime viewing. This telescope kit also includes a Shorty 2x Barlow, Star Target planisphere star chart, Orion Telescope Observer's Guide book, MoonMap 260, and RedBeam Mini LED keychain flashlight.
