NEW REFRACTOR TELESCOPE 70mm X 800mm RP £129 BLACK

Sylvan 70mm (2.8") with 800mm focal length (f/11) Altazimuth Refractor

Fully Loaded

Telescopes needn’t be exclusively nighttime creatures. By virtue of its altazimuth mount, this one works well for both daytime terrestrial viewing and nighttime astronomical use. The altazimuth mount offers intuitive up-down, left-right motion to make maneuvering the telescope easy. Whether for panning a scenic landscape or surveying the Milky Way for star clusters, this scope provides a pleasant experience.

This telescope is well suited to beginners of any age-adolescent to adult. It is lightweight and compact so it’s easy to carry to your observing location, be it out on the lawn or an hour's drive into the hills.

Its glossy silver optical tube is made of seamless aluminum and outfitted with a smooth-action rack-and-pinion focuser on one end and a dew cap/glare shield on the other. Housed inside is a multi-coated, achromatic glass objective lens that’s 70mm in diameter, with a focal length of 800mm. This lens takes in 36% more light than a 60mm lens. Bottom line: you'll see more. So if you can afford the modest additional cost of a Sylvan 70 over the Sylvan 60mm refractor, it will reward you with brighter images and, for astronomy, a larger repertoire of objects to see. You’ll enjoy outstanding looks at the Moon's cratered surface, Jupiter’s cloud bands and moons, Saturn and its rings, the majestic Orion Nebula, and the mind-boggling Andromeda Galaxy, to name just a few of the treasures you can see.

We specially engineered the altazimuth mount to provide much greater stability than the standard “off the shelf” altaz mounts. It has an altitude micro-motion control to allow very fine aiming adjustments.

The tube and mount are supported on a sturdy aluminum tripod that adjusts to a comfortable height. It looks so good, you'll want to keep your Sylvan 70 on display when you're not using it.

The Sylvan 70 Altaz comes with everything you need to start observing right away.
