Product Description

Here's a versatile telescope designed to pack up and go whenever you hit the road, the trail, or the air. It excels for daytime birding, nature study, and scenic long-distance viewing, and will take you way beyond the Earth's horizon after sunset for some casual nighttime stargazing and Moon-watching. The 70mm GoScope III features a 70mm-aperture achromatic lens system for high-resolution images of distant subjects.

The telescope sets up in seconds on the retractable aluminum tripod which features a three-way pan head and allows smooth, easy pointing of the telescope. The included compact tripod can be adjusted to hold the GoScope III refractor optical tube as low as 17.75" up to a 43.5" maximum height when the tripod legs are fully extended. For taller stargazers, the lightweight GoScope III can easily be placed on a table or other raised surface for comfortable use.

The GoScope III refractor comes with a correct-image prism diagonal, anti-reflection coated 20mm and 9mm Kellner eyepieces (1.25"), MoonMap 260 and a 5x24 finder scope. It's a complete observational system that tucks away neatly in the included backpack!
