Here's a versatile telescope designed to pack up and go whenever you hit the road, the trail, or the air. It excels for daytime birding, nature study, and scenic long-distance viewing, and will take you way beyond the Earth's horizon after sunset for some casual nighttime stargazing and Moon-watching. Use it from the backyard, campsite, or anywhere you go on your next vacation.
The GoScope 70 refractor features a fully coated 70mm achromatic lens system with a 350mm focal length (f/5.0) for high-resolution images of distant subjects. The scope sets up in seconds on the retractable aluminum tripod, which stands 48"" tall at full extension and retracts to a compact 19"". The tripod's locking three-way pan head allows smooth, easy pointing of the telescope. The correct-image prism diagonal shows terrestrial targets in their proper orientation while providing a convenient viewing angle for astronomical wonders overhead. Quality 20mm and 10mm Kellner eyepieces (1.25"") give you two magnification options. With the built-in focuser and EZ Finder II red dot finder scope, you have a complete observational system. Best of all, everything tucks away neatly in the specially designed backpack!
Makes a great gift! Weighs 6 lbs. One-year limited warranty.
