NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 60/700 Refracting Telescope AZ

From the moon to Mars and beyond – NASA is reaching ever farther into space with its missions and space telescopes. Perhaps you’re interested in looking beyond our terrestrial horizons too? If so, you can take your first steps in the footsteps of famous astronauts and space explorers with this ISA Space Exploration NASA-themed 60/700 AZ Refracting Telescope. The complete astro kit comes with everything you need for your very own exploration of the night sky – a refracting telescope, an altazimuth mount, a height-adjustable tripod and plenty of astronomy accessories. The perfect way to get started: this astronomical telescope is extremely easy to use. Just open up the case, set your telescope up and start observing the stars! Explore the moon, planets and space yourself Start your journey to the stars in our own solar system. Our very own natural satellite – the moon – is always worth exploring through the 60 mm aperture and 700 mm focal length. The large aperture ratio of approx. 1 to 11.7 (F/11.7) guarantees high-contrast images. The two main bands of cloud of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn will also be clearly visible through the state-of-the-art, carefully coated lens, which has outstanding imaging properties. If you’re eager to explore even deeper into the unknown, your refractor telescope will give you a glimpse of globular clusters and open star clusters, such as the famous Pleiades. An entry-level telescope to help you get started If you’re keen to start your discovery, you have no time to lose! With this refracting telescope, you’ll be up and running in no time at all, even if you’re just a beginner. The user-friendly altazimuth mount on the stable tripod allows you to move quickly from one celestial object to the next with your telescope. As with a standard camera tripod, you simply pivot the telescope up and down, left and right with your hand. Use the 5x24 finder scope, mounted parallel to the tube, to quickly align the lens and seek out astronomical highlights for your observations. With low 5x magnification and integrated crosshairs, you can ensure that you have a clear picture of the night sky before focusing in on the detail with your telescope. Telescope with plenty of accessories – everything you need for stargazing With the right equipment by your side, your astro hobby can be even more fun. That’s why the sturdy hard case comes packed with plenty of useful accessories for safe transport. With three eyepieces, you can vary the magnification to give you a different perspective on our universe over and over again, while the 90 degree zenith mirror ensures a comfortable observation position at all times. Even if the lens is pointing vertically upwards, you can still observe comfortably from the side. Never lost in space – with the compass and star chart, you’ll always know exactly where to look. Plus, as our own planet has plenty to admire too, you can use your telescope with the reverse lens to observe animals and the nature around you during the day. Follow your role models at NASA and start your very own astro adventure with the ISA Space Exploration NASA-themed 60/700 AZ Refracting Telescope.

Observing the stars like a professional - very easy with the BRESSER JUNIOR refractor telescope 70/700 EL. It is a complete system for the exploration of the wonders of the universe, consisting of telescope, mount, tripod and all accessories needed. With an aperture of 70 mm it reveils already many details of celestial objects. The mount can not only swing the telescope left / right and up / down, it can also be used in a so-called equatorial mode, as scientists do in their observatories (see further under Special features). An additional finder scope mounted on the telescope is useful for locating celestial objects. With the erecting lens many exciting things in the environment can also be seen during daytime. With the height-adjustable tripod, the telescope can each be brought to an optimal height for large or small observers. The supplied diagonal mirror ensures a comfortable viewing. At night the moon and planets may like Saturn and Jupiter can be explored. But thanks to the 70 mm wide aperture of the telescope also many celestial objects outside our solar system are within the reach of this telescope. Star clusters many light years away and nebula impress young and old stargazers. SPECIAL FEATURESMounting with wedge: At first glance, the NG mount of the refractor telescope 90/700 NG is a very ordinary azimuth mount: an axis for left / right and one for up / down, as we know it from normal camera tripods. This mode makes sense especially with observations during the day. With the built-in wedge it can be tilted, so the whole mount can be converted to an equatorial mount for astronomy with a single operation. For use of the equatorial mount an axis is aligned with the North Star. When tracking a celestial object only a single axis needs to be moved, which clearly is a relief compared to tracking an object on the night sky with mounts that only have left / right and up / down axis.
