This lightweight portable scope combines a 70 mm aperture with a 300 mm focal length to give clear, bright views of the Moon, planets and terrestrial targets. Optics are fully multi-coated to increase light transmission and reduce glare, while the included accessories make it quicker to learn basic celestial navigation and capture images with a phone.

How easy is it to set up and take outside?

Assembly requires no tools and can be completed in minutes, so it’s suitable for spontaneous observing sessions or packing into a carry bag. The tabletop tripod uses lightweight aluminum and allows smooth tilt and pan so you can quickly center subjects.
