The National Geographic 70mm Automatic Telescope helps new observers spend less time searching and more time exploring the night sky. Its computer-controlled refractor uses a built-in GoTo handbox to locate celestial objects automatically, reducing one of the most difficult parts of beginner astronomy. A compact form also makes the telescope practical for backyard sessions, camping trips, and travel.
Automatic GoTo Control
The GoTo handbox helps guide the telescope toward celestial targets without requiring the user to manually hunt across the sky. This gives beginners a more approachable way to start observing. The telescope can reveal lunar craters, the cloud belts of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn, giving new users several familiar targets to explore from the first sessions.
Wide Field Refractor Views
A 70 mm aperture and 350 mm focal length support bright, wide-field views for scanning the Moon and planets. The supplied 10 mm and 20 mm eyepieces provide a stated magnification range of 18x to 88x, allowing users to move between broader views and closer looks. The moon filter helps improve contrast when observing the lunar surface.
Flexible Setup for Home and Travel
Use the telescope on the included aluminum tripod or place it directly on a table when space is limited. The compact format makes it easier to bring astronomy into a backyard, campsite, or vacation setting. A compass and astronomy software provide added guidance as users become more familiar with the sky, while the straightforward accessory set keeps the first viewing sessions focused and accessible.
