Ideal for viewing solar eclipses:


A solar eclipse is a good excuse to take a trip. And it is possibly one of the most exciting spectacles that heaven has to offer. The Omegon BackPack AZ telescope is a first-class travel companion. It consists of an optical tube, tripod, solar filter and backpack. It is so compact that it fits in any luggage bag and also guarantees you a great view of solar eclipses.

Summary of advantages:

Compact, lightweight telescope for travelers looking for solar eclipses
CE certified solar filter for maximum observation safety
Vixen rail to attach to mounts and ¼" thread for photographic tripods

Complete set with accessories

Objective for telescopes with 70 mm aperture
The 70/400 mm optical tube is compact and considerably light, so you can travel light to your desired viewing locations. The objective, which consists of 2 lenses, offers sharp and bright images of the Sun. This way you can enjoy eclipses in all their splendor. They will seem as impressive to you as if you looked at them with the naked eye.

aluminum tripod

The aluminum photographic tripod can be placed anywhere: on a table, a rock or, most typically, the ground. Thanks to its 3 removable legs you can adjust it individually to all needs: from very low to very high. The 1/4" photographic thread allows you to fix the optical tube. And the azimuthal handle serves to direct the telescope in the desired direction.

Solar filter included

The scope of delivery also includes a solar filter that fits perfectly into the anti-fog protector of the optical tube. Simply attach it and point it at the Sun.

Protection factor 100,000 for your eyes

The solar filter sheet guarantees 100% safe sun watching sessions. It blocks most of the sunlight, allowing only 0.001% of it to pass through the telescope.
In addition, this filter offers clear and homogeneous images of the Sun so you can enjoy the complete partial phase of solar eclipses.


Attention: never look at the Sun directly without solar filter. Be sure to place the filter on the objective before starting observation. Do not allow children to observe the Sun on their own, but always under the supervision of an adult.
