This is a great telescope for beginners. It features a 70mm aperture, and a 700mm focal length. With a 3X Barlow lens, and two plan eyepieces (6mm and 20mm), the telescope can achieve magnifications from 35X to 350X! The included 45.5" aluminum tripod features an azimuth-control dial and an altitude-adjustment knob for fine-tune the positioning.
We hand-picked a brilliant book as an introduction to astronomy. Ideal for ages 8 and up, the 48-page book guides you through space, including our solar system and constellations. It tells you where to watch and when, and how our celestial neighbors affect our weather. Beautiful photos and elaborate illustrations will stir your stargazing ambitions.
