Description

The Meade Infinity 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope is a quality entry-level refractor designed for observations of the Moon and other Solar system objects. Its 70mm objective lens creates a bright and sharp image. This model will help you to see polar ice caps and seas on Mars during opposition, the phases of Venus, Saturn’s rings, and many other celestial objects. The telescope is also suitable for terrestrial viewing.

The kit includes two eyepieces – a long focal length eyepiece allows you to cover a large area, while a short focal length eyepiece is used for observations at high magnifications. The model is equipped with a Red Dot finderscope.

The telescope is installed on Alt-azimuth mount. Such mounts are easy to use and are optimal for visual observations.
