Product Detail:

  Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seal Award, the National Parenting Center Seal Of Approval and the Parents' Choice Approved Award.

Bring the wonders of nature up close with this 70mm, refracting, short barrel telescope. Designed to be user-friendly for kids and adults alike, it's ideal for a range of interests, from stargazing to nature watching. To create an affordable but hard-working design, we've eliminated unnecessary bells and whistles and focused on the essentials, like precision-ground glass lenses and Kellner eyepieces in two sizes. We've even included an erecting prism.

Key features:

  • Wide, 70mm aperture allows crystal-clear viewing of moon craters, Saturn's rings, even distant quasars and nebulae
  • Altazimuth mount for smooth, precise motion
  • Precision-ground glass lenses with magnesium fluoride anti-reflective coating for superior visual clarity
  • 1.25" Kellner eyepieces included (9mm and 25mm)
  • Accepts other manufacturers' 1.25" eyepieces for limitless options
  • 45-degree erecting prism ensures objects always appear right side up
  • Die-cast and extruded aluminum tripod extends to 55" viewing height and comes with anti-slip rubber feet
  • Padded, lightweight shoulder bag with "sling" style strap for comfort and portability
  • Illuminated adjustment dials, azimuth dial and liquid bubble level
  • Red night-vision map light won't dilate eyes
  • Adjustable, soft rubber eyepieces
  • Removable spotting scope
  • Integrated, flip-down lens caps
  • 2 month manufacturer's warranty
The user-friendly design includes illuminated dials, a star chart light and a hinged lens cover that's impossible to lose! The aluminum tripod extends to a comfortable viewing height of 55", then collapses to fit in the lightweight, padded shoulder bag. Throw it over your shoulder and start exploring while you discover the mysteries of the universe!

Warning: Never look directly at the sun or a solar eclipse. Doing this, even for a brief moment, can cause permanent damage to your eyes.

Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children.

I got this as a xmas gift for my daughter. We looked at the moon tonight, and the craters are so clear! My daughter (including me and my husband) loves it. But for starters like us, a star map/chart is recommended to appreciate this telescope more.

What a disappointment! This was a gift to my 7 yr old boy from Santa. It looks awesome but quickly disappoints. I felt bad watching my son grow tired of trying to find ANYTHING in the sky. It was easier to see stars and planets by just looking up with our own eyes. Now he Doesnt understand why Santa gave him such a lousy "toy".

I was initially reluctant to purchase this because the picture of it made it look a bit toyish. However, this is solidly built and provides a nice image. Im sure if youre some astronomy nerd youll still call this a toy. But for the rest of us who just want to look at the basics without spending a fortune, this is a solid choice and appropriately priced.
