    The AstroMaster 70AZ is equipped with a manual Alt-Azimuth mount featuring a smooth panhandle and clutch. This makes it easy to move the telescope and track objects across the sky. Whether you’re following the Moon’s path or catching a glimpse of Saturn, pointing and adjusting the telescope feels natural and precise.

    Everything You Need to Get Started

    The telescope comes with everything you need right out of the box: two eyepieces (a 20mm for wide-field views and a 10mm for closer detail), an erect image diagonal for comfortable viewing day or night, and a StarPointer red dot finderscope to help you locate objects quickly.

    Learn More with Starry Night Software

    Included with your telescope is a free download of Celestron’s Starry Night software. It’s a powerful tool for learning the night sky, featuring interactive star maps, a deep database of celestial objects, and 3D visualizations that help you plan your observing sessions and expand your astronomical knowledge.

    Great for Day or Night

    The AstroMaster 70AZ isn’t limited to night sky viewing. Its dual-purpose design means you can also use it for daytime observations—whether you're admiring distant landscapes or spotting wildlife. Fully coated glass optics provide bright, sharp images no matter what you're looking at.

    Complete Observation Kit

    Included with the Celestron Astromaster 70AZ Refractor Telescope are two eyepieces: a low magnification 20mm which is great for viewing stars and constellations, and a 10mm high magnification which is ideal for looking at moon craters and bringing planets in a bit closer. With this telescope, you will get a great view of the moon and constellations and a basic view of the planets. The Celestron Astromaster 70AZ Refractor Telescope is ideal for viewing objects within our Solar System.
