National Geographic Telescope N 76/700 EQ (45620)

National Geographic’s Reflector Telescope is a compact and powerful instrument, ideal for beginners eager to explore the night sky. Despite its small aperture, it reveals countless lunar craters, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s Galilean moons, and even bright deep-sky objects like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Orion Nebula. The telescope comes as a complete set, including everything needed to start observing right away. Its intuitive design, with a height-adjustable aluminum tripod and easy-to-use equatorial mount, ensures quick assembly and effortless tracking of celestial objects.

The 76 mm aperture gathers about 118 times more light than the naked eye, producing crisp and detailed images. The gear rack focuser allows for precise adjustments and supports all standard eyepieces. The EQ-1 equatorial mount enables accurate polar alignment and smooth tracking using slow-motion cables, making it easy for beginners to follow objects across the sky.
