Celestron Travel Scope 70 with Backpack

Explore both the night sky and the world around you with the Celestron Travel Scope 70, a lightweight and versatile refractor telescope designed for convenient terrestrial and celestial viewing. Its portable design makes it an excellent companion for backyard observation, outdoor adventures, travel, and spontaneous stargazing sessions. With its 70mm aperture, the Travel Scope 70 provides bright views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, the erect-image star diagonal produces correctly oriented images, allowing the optical tube to double as a convenient spotting scope for terrestrial observation. Getting started is quick and simple. The telescope and accessories can be assembled in just a few minutes, even for first-time users. Its adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope's viewing height or position it on suitable raised surfaces such as a picnic table. Weighing just 3.3 pounds as a complete telescope kit, the Travel Scope 70 is easy to carry and ready to accompany you wherever your next adventure takes you.
