ESSLNB 70mm Refractor Telescope for Adults — Portable Travel Astronomy Kit with Phone Adapter & Adjustable Tripod

ESSLNB 70mm refractor telescope is a portable, beginner-friendly astronomy kit that delivers clear daytime and night-sky views with 15x–180x magnification and a phone adapter for easy imaging.

Designed for people stepping into stargazing or wanting a compact travel scope, this ESSLNB refractor combines a 70mm objective lens, fully multi-coated optics, interchangeable Kellner eyepieces and a 3x Barlow lens to cover wide-field observing and high-magnification details. The package includes an adjustable aluminium tripod and a smartphone adapter so you can record or share what you see. Assembly is straightforward and the kit is intended to get beginners observing quickly without a steep learning curve.

How sharp and bright will celestial objects look through this telescope?

The 70mm aperture paired with a 360mm focal length gathers a good amount of light for an entry-level refractor, producing brighter, more detailed images than small travel scopes. Fully multi-coated glass improves contrast and reduces stray reflections, which helps when viewing planets, lunar craters and brighter deep-sky objects.

• 70mm objective lens for increased light collection and clearer images
• 360mm focal length offers a balanced field of view for planets and wide targets
• Fully multi-coated optics for higher transmission and contrast

What magnification range can I expect and how do I achieve it?

This telescope uses two 1.25" Kellner eyepieces (K6mm and K25mm) plus a 3x Barlow lens to expand your magnification options from about 15x up to 180x. Swapping eyepieces and adding the Barlow lets you quickly change between wide-field observing and high-power views for planetary details. Keep in mind seeing conditions and tripod stability limit practical high magnifications.

• K6mm and K25mm interchangeable eyepieces included
• 3x Barlow lens triples each eyepiece’s magnification (e.g., 15x–180x)
• Ideal eyepiece combinations for moon, planets, and terrestrial viewing

How easy is setup, and can I capture images with my phone?

The telescope ships with a clear, step-by-step manual that makes assembly simple for beginners. The supplied smartphone adapter clamps to the eyepiece so you can align your phone camera and record photos or video of your observations. The lightweight aluminium tripod has a broad height range, making tabletop or standing use convenient.

• Quick assembly with illustrated instructions for beginners
• Phone adapter allows astrophotography and video recording
• Adjustable aluminium tripod extends from 16.1" to 51.6" for flexible setups

What should I know about durability, service and included accessories?

The refractor’s metal and optical components are built to withstand field use while remaining light enough for travel. ESSLNB includes customer support and technical help so new observers can get assistance setting up or troubleshooting. The kit comes with the eyepieces, Barlow lens, tripod, phone adapter and a user manual to get you observing right away.

• Sturdy aluminium tripod for stable viewing and portability
• Comprehensive accessory set: eyepieces, Barlow, phone adapter, manual
• Customer service and technical support available for setup questions
