Here we have a very attractive instrument, Excellently worked and ideal for beginners. The high quality of the built-in optical elements provides extraordinarily rich contrast representations for this class of telescopes. The fixedly mounted spot finder makes it possible to quickly and easily find the desired astronomical objects, through the 1.25" toothed bar telescope the sharpness can be adjusted without complications. The telescope can be used for both terrestrial and nature observations as well as for astronomical tasks, such as observing the Moon and planets. The tube must be fixed to the mount using an ordinary dovetail bar. It is possible to completely assemble the instrument within a few minutes and without special knowledge.

The optical system AC 70:

With its 70mm aperture, this refractor already collects 100 times more light than the human eye and therefore essentially more light than classic beginner telescopes with a slightly smaller aperture of 60mm. As a consequence, it also has a largest resolution capacity and, with a maximum magnification of 140x , already offers the possibility of observing details of the large planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. The Moon is also a very interesting object. It is possible to observe the magnificent landscape of the lunar craters , which in each phase appear under different conditions. With an Amici reversal lens or prism, even Interesting observations in nature. Focusing is carried out through an adjustment wheel on the telescopic tube moved in turn by a toothed bar. This way you can adjust the sharpness exactly and securely fix it during observation.

The acquisition is also interesting for advanced amateur astronomers, it can be used in combination with more powerful systems: the optical system is ideal for use as conductive tube which is mounted on a larger telescope to be used for photograph or monitor tracking.
