Celestron

The Celestron Travel Scope DX 70mm f/6 AZ Refractor Telescope is designed for portability and ease of use for both astronomical and Earth-bound use, and with a slew of accessories including a smartphone adapter you'll be able to document, share, and post everything you see.Its refractor-style optical tube assembly (OTA) has a respectable aperture that gathers the light needed to get great views of the moon, large planets like Jupiter and Mars, as well as stars and constellations. A photo-style alt-az pan/tilt head easily mounts the OTA with a simple screw and has a single control handle that enables smooth movement and locks the altitude in place for hands-free use to minimize vibration. Supporting it all is a photo-style tripod that collapses low enough for tabletop use and extends to full-sized height.In addition to the smartphone photo adapter, Celestron includes a Bluetooth remote shutter release that is compatible with most Android and iOS phones so you can take a photo or video without having to touch your devices, which can cause unwanted vibrations. For visual observation, you also get a moon filter to safely look at it, an erecting prism that corrects views horizontally and laterally so the Travel Scope can be used as a conventional spotting scope, plus two eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens. Everything in this kit OTA, tripod, head, and accessories fits inside a dedicated canvas backpack to make it as portable as possible.Optical Tube 70mm aperture is ideal for viewing the moon, large planets, constellations, and other celestial objectsFast f/5.7 focal ratio400mm focal lengthAchromatic refractor optical designAnti-reflection fully coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, sharpness, and contrastResolution: 1.99 arcsec, Raleigh; 1.66 arcsec, Dawes1.25" rack-and-pinion focuserIntegrated dew shield prevents condensation at night and minimizes glare during the dayMount and Tripod Mount:Manual pan/tilt photo-style alt-azimuthControl handle for easier pan/tilt and subject trackingLocking handle sets altitudeIntegrated levelTripod:Easy-use photo-styleAdjustable height from 22 to 52"Lightweight and durable aluminum legsFour 1.25" diameter leg sections allow it to be set on a table or extended to full heightExtendable center column makes it a full-sized tripod with a compact form factorSimple snap-locks allow for fast setup and breakdownCenter tray holds accessories like eyepieces, filters, and smartphones and keeps them close at handDigiscoping Accessories Basic Smartphone Digiscoping Adapter:Fast and easy installation and useCapture photos and video through any eyepieceFits most smartphone models and can often be used with case still on phoneNot just for telescopes use on spotting scopes, binoculars, microscopes, and all kinds of optical devicesRemote Shutter Release:Reduce vibration by taking a picture with your phone without having to touch itNear-universal compatibility with Android or iOS smartphonesBluetooth connectivity is fast and easyObservation Accessories Eyepieces:1.25" diameter barrel accepts most astronomical filters10mm produces 40x power20mm produces 20x magnificationMoon Filter:Fits most 1.25" eyepieces and can easily be moved between eyepiecesNeutral density filter reduces the brightness of the moon, without changing its color, for safe viewing when it is more than half-fullTransmits light uniformly across the entire visual spectrum while stepping down the light throughput by 87%Improves contrast while eliminating reflections, ghosting, or stray interference lightBarlow Lens:1.25" nosepiece and holder is compatible with all accessories in the telescope kit2x magnification effectively doubles the power of each eyepiece, producing high magnifications without affecting eye relief to make viewing more comfortableDiagonal:45 angle puts head in comfortable position for celestial and terrestrial viewingIntegrated erecting prism corrects view horizontally and vertically for land use1.25" diameter eyepi
