Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Sun and Moon Kit for Beginners

The Orion GoScope III 70mm Sun and Moon Telescope Kit is 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.

This telescope features a 70mm-aperture achromatic lens system for high-resolution images of distant subjects. It 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 standard with a correct-image prism diagonal, 20mm and 9mm Kellner eyepieces (1.25"), MoonMap 260, and a 5x24 finder scope. This kit also includes a sun and moon filter for exploration of our celestial neighbors. It's a complete observational system that tucks away neatly in the included backpack.

To view the sun safely, you can attach the included Film Solar Filter. This solar filter is designed and manufactured in the USA. The 400mm focal length telescope (f/5.7) excels at daytime birding use as well as viewing wildlife, scenery, and casual nighttime observing of the Moon and bright planets.

The kit includes a 5x24 finder scope for easy aiming, two anti-reflection coated 1.25" Kellner telescope eyepieces (20mm and 9mm) for 20-power and 44-power views right out of the box, and the Orion MoonMap 260 to help you learn about the cool lunar features you see. The included compact tripod can be adjusted to hold the telescope as low as 17.75" up to a 43.5" maximum height with the tripod legs fully extended.

Whether you're a beginning stargazer or part of an adventurous family, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Sun and Moon Telescope Kit is a complete observational system that's ready to accompany you on your next outdoor excursion. Its versatility, portability, and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for both daytime and nighttime viewing experiences.
