Konus KonusNova 70 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope
The ideal for both adult and child beginner astronomers.
When you buy this entry level telescope you get a full package which includes everything you need to not only get started, but also to see a whole range of astronomical objects.
Built with a refractor design and a generous 70mm tube, your Konus Nova telescopes can be used to view celestial objects such as planets, the moon and satellites and then with the help of the included erecting eyepiece it can also be used for occasional land viewing.
Your Konus 70mm telescope comes with a sturdy telescope tripod and an easy to use manual AZ mount which is great for beginners.
The two included eyepieces allow you to view objects of interest at two different magnifications. The 8mm eyepiece will produce a magnification of 100x which will allow for detailed viewing of the moon and planets, and the 20mm eyepiece produces a 40x magnification, which is ideal for comet watching or viewing entire constellations. Simply insert the 2x Barlow lens to double the magnification of each eyepiece. A 45 degree diagonal is included to make viewing more comfortable.
Your refractor telescope from Konus also comes with a whole range of additional accessories to make for more comfortable and enjoyable viewing including a moon filter and red dot finder. An included smart phone adapter allows you to take photos through your telescope.
