Bresser Junior Telescope AC 70/900 EL (45876)

This refractor telescope provides a complete system for exploring the night sky and terrestrial objects. It includes a telescope, mount, tripod, and all necessary accessories. The 70mm aperture delivers detailed views of celestial objects, while the mount offers dual functionality: it can operate in a simple altazimuth mode (left/right and up/down) or in an equatorial mode for precise tracking of astronomical objects. A finder scope makes locating targets easy, and the erecting prism allows for upright images during daytime observations. The height-adjustable tripod ensures comfort for users of all ages, and the mirror star diagonal enhances viewing convenience.

Uses
At night, this telescope allows observation of the Moon, planets like Saturn and Jupiter, and deep-sky objects such as star clusters and nebulae. During the day, the erecting prism provides upright images for nature observation, making this telescope versatile for both astronomical and terrestrial use.

Features

• Mount with Wedge: The NG mount functions as a standard altazimuth mount but can be tilted into an equatorial mode for astronomy. In equatorial mode, one axis aligns with Polaris, simplifying tracking by moving only a single axis.

• Finder Scope: Facilitates easy location of celestial objects.

• Erecting Prism: Provides upright, non-reversed images for daytime observations.

• Adjustable Tripod: Allows height adjustment to suit both children and adults.
