Designed and built for beginners, the Konus KonusNova-70 70mm f/11 Alt-Az Refractor Telescope offers a complete observational rig for viewing the moon, planets, meteor showers, and satellites-with the ability to use it as a conventional spotting scope for nature and bird watching.

The scope features a conventional and reliable refractor light path with a generous 70mm aperture and long focal length that allows you to easily view all kinds of astronomical objects.

Two eyepieces are included that produce 40x and 100x, with a 2x Barlow lens that effectively doubles the magnification of each eyepiece.

A 45o diagonal is also provided to put the user in a more comfortable viewing position whether you're looking at the moon high overhead or boats out on the water from a balcony.

A 1.5x low power erecting eyepiece corrects the image orientation horizontally and vertically to view terrestrial objects in comfort.

Its adjustable aluminum tripod provides a stable observation platform and its adjustable height from 31 to 48" allows for comfortable viewing by most users.

Additional accessories include a filter that allows you to safely view the moon and a red-dot finder scope that makes finding object fast and star-hopping navigation easy.

70mm aperture is ideal for observing the moon and planets with the ability to see bright deep-sky objects like star clusters.

800mm f/11.8 focal length produces a high magnification potential for detailed observations at high power.

Classic refractor-style optical design is reliable, easy to clean and requires no future alignment from the user.

Sturdy and reliable rack-and-pinion focuser with 1.25" hold.

Single-arm fork design is solid and stable while remaining lightweight.
