A Fantastic Computer Controlled GPS Refractor Telescope: This is one of the most sought after entry-level telescopes on the market. The built-in GPS Computer Controller is so easy to use that kids and adults of all ages will have tons of fun exploring the night sky. Simply power up the telescope, choose the object you want to see on the handheld controller and the GPS computerized mount does the rest. Standard computer controlled mounts without GPS require you to align the telescope with the North Star and manually enter in your coordinates and the time. The GPS locator in this telescope mount means the telescope already knows it's location and the current time anywhere in the world. You'll be soaring to the stars in seconds.

Premium Optical Lens: With a large 70mm aperture this telescope has a third more light gathering power than most smaller scopes. The fully coated achromatic 70mm primary objective lens, is maintenance free and ready to use right out of the box. The 700mm focal length, combined with 3 include eyepieces and a 2x barlow lens means you'll enjoy a range of magnifications from 35x to 350x. That makes this telescope ideal for just about any observing application.

Sharp Space Viewing: Expect to have incredible views on day one with this easy to use telescope. The Moon will seem so close you'll be looking for Neil Armstrong. With planets you can see the rings of Saturn, the polar caps on Mars and the Moons of Jupiter. In dark skies you can see distant nebulae and galaxies as well. Best of all, it only takes the push of a button to move the telescope between these objects and more.

Equatorial Tracking Mount for Smooth Tracking: The patented design of the iOptron SmartStar-A Dual Mount Alt-Azimuth & German Equatorial GPS Mount is the most unique mount on the market today. Keep in mind that the stars "rise" and "set" over the course of the night, just like the sun does. With the Equatorial mount option included with the SmartStar-A mount, this telescope can be aligned in a way so that it rotates through the night sky in a single sweeping arc (as opposed to a stair-step approach). This is a key feature for ultra-smooth celestial tracking, critical for long-exposure astrophotography. In addition, there are no "dead spots" -- so you can point your telescope anywhere above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount also comes standard with AC connection. An optional DC adapter is available so you can plug your telescope motor into your car if you're camping or at any remote location. The mount also accepts 8 AA cell batteries for use at home or in the field. (Batteries sold separately.)

Automatic Computer Controlled Star Finding: The revolutionary GoToNova computerized control system is by far the most technologically advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 80,000 celestial objects, including all of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the planets, you'll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button. The GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. Using the easy-to-use hand controller and its large LCD screen, you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go. The 32-channel GPS module is built-in for fully automated operation and alignment. Simply turn on the GoToNova Controller and the GPS module will automatically synchronize your telescope location and time with the GoToNova computerized control system.

Premium Optics and Equipment: Included with this telescope are 3 eyepieces with storage containers, and a Barlow 2x lens. With a wide range of powers, these eyepieces are perfect for getting started on your deep-space and planetary excursions. Your telescope also comes with a dust-free cleaning cloth and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare and making surface details more clear. The steel tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. Made of 1-inch heavy-duty stainless steel the tripod is sturdy yet elegant, and gives the user unparalleled stability during operation. Solid construction joints keep your mount locked securely.
