This complete package combines a portable optical system with a full-height adjustable tripod, bonus accessories, and a smartphone adapter for capturing images and video through the eyepiece. The Travel Scope 70 DX is built for convenient travel and easy setup. Everything packs into a high-quality custom backpack, making transportation simple whether you're heading out on a camping trip or enjoying a spontaneous backyard stargazing session. Even first-time users can assemble the telescope and accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope's height or position it on suitable raised surfaces such as a picnic table. Despite its capable design, the entire telescope kit weighs only 3.3 pounds, making it exceptionally easy to carry. At night, explore the Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, the Travel Scope 70 DX doubles as a spotting scope for observing birds, wildlife, boats, migrating whales, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmartphone adapter and Bluetooth shutter release\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate your own stunning images and video of celestial or terrestrial objects with the smartphone adapter. With its light, rigid frame, this accessory allows you to connect any smartphone to your Travel Scope’s eyepiece. The additional magnification provided by the eyepiece allows your phone to capture great images of the Moon and planets.  This smartphone adapter installs easily by clamping over the top of an eyepiece.  The smartphone is held in position with the help of tightening knobs that securely lock your phone in place. To capture the best image, Celestron has also provided a Bluetooth shutter release that allows you to trigger the camera’s shutter on any Android or iOS smartphone remotely, without disturbing the placement of your phone and telescope.  NOTE: Some large and\/or bulky phone cases (including folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual Alt-Azimuth telescope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavigate the sky confidently with Travel Scope 70 DX’s intuitive pan handle.
