Amazon Basics 70mm Aperture Telescope with Smartphone Adapter – AZ Mount, 18x-120x Magnification

Discover versatile stargazing and terrestrial viewing with the Amazon Basics 70mm Aperture Telescope

This compact refractor blends accessible design with solid optics, delivering clear views of the Moon’s craters, Jupiter’s moons, and distant terrestrial scenes. With a 70mm objective and a 400mm focal length (f/5.7), the telescope balances light gathering and practical portability for beginners and casual observers alike. The erect-image optical path makes it easy to enjoy landscapes and wildlife without switching setups, turning each session into a satisfying exploration of both night skies and distant horizons.

Two eyepieces provide flexible starting magnifications, while a 3x Barlow lens expands the range to reveal fine planetary details and lunar textures. The 5x24 finderscope with a crosshair helps you locate targets efficiently, so you spend more time observing than searching. A universal phone adapter and wireless remote unlock real-time viewing and easy photo capture, letting you document craters, bands on gas giants, and crisp terrestrial scenes with compatible iOS or Android devices.
