Key Features
Ideal for beginners, the Inspire 70AZ 70mm f/10
Alt-Az Refractor Telescope from Celestron is the
lightest and most portable offering in the Inspire series, and is intended to
give novice astronomers a complete rig that is easy to set up and use for
viewing the Moon and planets, or for wide-field observation of the night sky
watching out for meteor showers and comets. Its unique asymmetrical manual
alt-azimuth mount helps to reduce overall weight without sacrificing stability,
and a control cable makes finding and tracking objects easier while reducing
vibrations. Two eyepieces produce 35x and 70x magnifications, and a 90°
erect-image prism not only puts the eyepieces in comfortable viewing position
but corrects the view to allow this astronomical scope to be used as a
terrestrial spotting scope.
To take photos or videos through the scope, simply remove
the innovatively-designed front lens cap. The 20mm eyepiece fits into the back
to mount into the drawtube or diagonal, and a series of adjustable bungee cords
holds a smartphone securely in place. An adjustable-height stainless steel
tripod provides a stable platform for observing, and the included accessory
tray is designed for convenience by folding with tripod so it always stays on
and ready. Integrated into the bottom of the mount is a red flashlight that
illuminates the accessory tray from the top. This allows you to change
eyepieces and filters, or to mount your phone on the lens cap, without
affecting your night-adjusted vision and to work with both hands — an important
advantage when handling delicate optical gear.
