Clear, colorfast images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The achromatic double lens (dublet)<\/strong> of 70 mm corrects color aberrations and delivers a bright, clean image.
The focal ratio f\/10<\/strong> provides a good balance between magnification and light output, allowing you to view the Moon as well as Jupiter, Saturn and Venus in razor sharp focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Moon:<\/strong> impressive craters, shadows and mountain ranges<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Jupiter:<\/strong> The four Galilean moons and cloud bands<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Saturn:<\/strong> rings and the bright moon Titan visible<\/li>\n\n\n\n
