Overview
If you're learning or interested in astronomy, the Sky-Watcher 70/700 Refractor Telescope is an excellent and highly affordable choice. This telescope is designed for beginners, providing an opportunity to take the first steps into the world of astronomy. Equipped with a range of accessories, it is suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. What sets it apart from many other beginner telescopes is the inclusion of a standard 1.25″ focuser, allowing for a diverse range of eyepieces and accessories to enhance the viewing experience.
The telescope features a user-friendly alt-azimuth AZ2 mount, enabling movement in both horizontal and vertical axes. It is specifically designed for observing the Sun (Solar Filter REQUIRED), the moon, bright planets, and terrestrial objects during the day.
Features
The Refractor Advantage
Images viewed through a refractor telescope possess a classic quality that distinguishes them from other telescope designs. The refractor, which does not rely on mirrors to observe objects, delivers generally sharper images. Additionally, these images lack the secondary mirror shadow, enhancing suitability for terrestrial viewing, especially when equipped with a 45° erecting image diagonal or an erecting tube.
Superb Imaging Qualities
Sky-Watcher's achromatic refractor with a 70mm aperture is fully multi-coated to improve light transmission. It provides clear, high-contrast images of the moon and planets. This telescope is designed to be user-friendly, making it simple and easy for those new to astronomy to use and enjoy.
