Description

Junior stargazers can discover the beautiful secrets of the Moon, Saturn and many of the night sky’s brightest residents with this 70mm telescope. The refractor type telescope which has a 700mm focal length, comes with an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount that allow the user to smoothly move the scope up, down and side to side. Accessories include a diagonal, two eyepieces for varied levels of magnification, a red dot finder
Hera 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is a great choice for beginning stargazers thanks to its versatility and simple, easy-to-use design. It is a very lightweight and compact telescope, so it’s easy to carry to any observing location, whether you’re just going to the backyard or driving to darker skies
For beginning stargazers who want a starter telescope capable of providing more oomph, more performance than a traditional 60mm refractor, we present the Hera 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope. Compared to a 60mm refractor, the larger 70mm Hera can reveal an even greater variety of stellar gems and provide brighter views of popular favorites like the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Orion Nebula with greater resolution. Hera 70 Altazimuth Refractor Telescope features an achromatic glass objective lens that’s 70mm in diameter, with a focal length of 700mm (f/10). This glass lens takes in 36% more light than a 60mm lens for brighter, clearer views. Bottom line: you’ll see more than you would through a telescope with a smaller aperture.
Hera 70mm Refractor Telescope comes with everything you need to start observing the night sky right away. Two included telescope eyepieces, a 20mm and 10mm Kellner, provide two different magnification options right out of the box! Each eyepiece features anti-reflection coating to help optimize your observations of the night sky. We recommend starting with the 20mm ocular to obtain wide, 20x views. Then for closer looks, you can boost the power all the way up to 70x by using the 10mm telescope eyepiece. An included accessory tray for the tripod provides a convenient spot to keep your eyepieces ready for action. The included red-dot sight makes aiming the telescope nice and easy. Following a simple alignment procedure that parents can help with, you can use the reflex sight to accurately aim the Hera 70mm telescope at objects in the sky like the Moon and bright planets.
Thanks to its easy-to-use altazimuth mount and quality optics, Hera 70 mm refractor telescope works well for both daytime terrestrial viewing and nighttime astronomical use. The included altazimuth mount offers intuitive up/down (altitude) and left/right (azimuth) motion to make maneuvering the telescope easy. Whether you’re scanning a scenic landscape or surveying the Milky Way for star clusters, this telescope will provide a pleasant experience. The telescope tube and altazimuth mount are supported on an aluminum tripod that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for virtually any observer.
