Description

The Celestron TravelScope – 70mm caters to terrestrial and celestial viewing needs, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go exploration.

By night, this Celestron telescope can capture glimpses of planets, the moon, stars, and luminous deep-sky objects. During daylight hours, its erect image star diagonal functions effectively as a spotting scope.

Assembling the telescope is swift and straightforward. Even for first-time users, the Celestron TravelScope and accessories can be set up within minutes. Thanks to its adjustable tripod legs, users can tailor the telescope’s height or position it on elevated surfaces.

A panhandle Alt-Az control mechanism, featuring a clutch for smooth and precise pointing, facilitates navigation. By adjusting the clutch in vertical and horizontal motions, observers can accurately track celestial objects in the eyepiece.

Equipped with two eyepieces (20 mm and 10 mm), the TravelScope  enhances the observing experience. The varying magnifications enable users to tailor their viewing experience to the desired level of detail. Additionally, the erect image diagonal ensures right-side-up viewing. The finder scope aids in swiftly centering objects in the eyepiece, streamlining the observation process.

The Celestron TravelScope also includes a quick and easy, no-tool setup and panhandle Alt-Az control.

The Celestron telescope comes with a custom backpack which snugly accommodates the optical tube, tripod, eyepieces, and accessories. With all components neatly packed into the backpack, transporting the telescope becomes hassle-free, facilitating effortless travel and exploration.

Furthermore, users can augment their celestial knowledge and observation sessions by downloading Celestron’s Starry Night Software. This premier astronomy software package offers invaluable resources and insights into celestial objects, aiding in understanding the night sky and planning future observation sessions.

With its lightweight frame, fully coated glass optics, and an array of user-friendly features, the Celestron TravelScope – 70mm is an accessible and versatile telescope suitable for astronomers of all levels.
