Questions & Answers

Patricia B : what is height of tripod?
Shopper : can i see the galaxy?JAMES J : You're in a galaxy (the Milky Way) so by definition you can see it! Other galaxies will be a stretch for such a small telescope. Andromedy should be visible on a clear, dark night, but a larger telescope will offer greater detail.
Shopper : how well does it work? what can be seen with it?ED G : Get the the iOptron iExplore 70AZ 70mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope, Quality optics and see craters on the moon, rings of Saturn, Jupiter's moons and Orion nebula and much more.

Boasting a generous 60mm aperture, this refractor telescope allows more light to enter, resulting in brighter, clearer images of stars, planets, and other celestial wonders. The telescope's focal length of 700mm further enhances the clarity and detail of the images you'll capture.
