Explore lunar detail, planetary features, bright deep-sky objects, and terrestrial subjects with the National Geographic 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope. Its 70 mm aperture and multicoated achromatic optics gather light for bright, sharp views, while the 700 mm focal length supports a useful range of magnification for wide observing and closer inspection.
Flexible Viewing Power
The included 26 mm and 9.7 mm Plössl eyepieces provide approximately 27x and 72x magnification. Add the 2x Barlow lens to reach 54x or 144x when conditions and the target support a closer view. The 1.25-inch eyepiece format also gives the optical path a familiar size for telescope accessories.
Smooth Alt Azimuth Positioning
A yoke-style alt-azimuth mount with an altitude rod lets you move the telescope across the sky and lock its position for steady observing. The full-size adjustable tripod provides stable support and includes an accessory tray that keeps eyepieces within easy reach. A red dot finder helps you point the telescope toward a selected target before viewing through the main optical tube.
Useful Tools for Getting Oriented
Downloadable astronomy software and a star map resource can help with locating and identifying objects. The telescope is equally suited to celestial and terrestrial viewing, giving families, students, and new observers a straightforward way to explore the sky and distant daytime subjects with a traditional refractor design.
