Meade Infinity 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope
The great for beginner astronomers and comes with everything you will need to get started. This refracting telescope delivers bright and detailed images of the moon, planets, meteor showers, and brighter deep-sky objects, and is also suitable for viewing land objects.
Set on a manual alt-azimuth mount with an altitude lock and slow-motion controls, this Meade telescope allows for precise tracking of objects as they move across the night sky.
Your Meade 70mm telescope is equipped with two eyepieces that provide 27x and 78x magnifications with a 2x Barlow lens that doubles the magnification of each eyepiece for a wider-range of observing possibilities. All included eyepieces have fold down rubber eyecups for comfortable viewing and are fully multicoated with anti reflection technology.
An adjustable-height stainless steel tripod provides a stable platform for sky-watching, and the included 90° erect-image diagonal makes looking through the scope more comfortable, especially when aiming the telescope toward the zenith.
The diagonal's prism corrects images horizontally and vertically, allowing you to use the scope for terrestrial viewing too.
An integrated dew-shield helps to prevent condensation on the objective lens, as well as blocking stray terrestrial peripheral light from interfering with celestial observations.
