By harnessing your smartphone or tablet's GPS and camera capabilities, it precisely pinpoints your location in the night sky. With the app in hand, selecting your desired celestial object becomes a breeze. Just follow the on-screen arrows with your telescope, and you're on your way to exploring the wonders above.

This user-friendly design is tailored for beginners, making it an ideal choice for those new to stargazing.

 

With a no-frills optical design & mechanical construction.

The 70AZ is a simple Refractor Telescope, meaning very little alignment and maintenance is needed to get started with and continue with astronomy. And what's more - the telescope comes with a straightforward Alt-Azimuth (AZ) Mount, eliminating the need for complex mount alignment procedures. Just put it down somewhere and observe! It's a true beginner's telescope, offering no-frills viewing from the get-go.

But it's simplicity doesn't mean that it isn't a capable telescope. With a Refractor optical design, this telescope can be used during the night to observe the wonders above, but it can also be used during the day to observe land / sea. It's super versatile!
