This tried-and-true refractor goes the extra distance in introducing the novice to the wonders of the night sky. The Observer 70 features a 70mm fully anti-reflection coated achromatic objective lens, which provides 36% more light-gathering ability than a 60mm. Its 700mm focal length (f/10) will show you the stark beauty of the lunar surface, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's atmospheric belts, or the billowy clouds of the Orion Nebula. Less

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Bought this for my son for Christmas, he wanted a scope that he could move around as my 8 inch Dob is too heavy for him. It's been cloudy most of the time since Christmas here in Michigan and one of the clear nights it was cold (15 degrees...
