A70Lf with PortaMount

With this size aperture you will be on your way to discovering the craters and mountains on our moon, the rings around Saturn and the storms on Jupiter. With a star chart you’ll find beautiful double stars of varying colors, and on moonless nights, you will see the Andromeda Galaxy, The Orion Nebula and hundreds of other Deep Sky objects. The A70Lf, although inexpensive, is not a toy telescope. It has the same quality glass and exacting workmanship that goes into our much larger instruments. I hope you’ll find it as enjoyable as I did as you begin this great adventure we call amateur astronomy.

The A70Lf is an Achromatic Refractor with 70mm (2.8”) of aperture. Its focal length is 900mm (3 ft.) with an f ratio of 12.9. Its light gathering is 100 times better than the human eye and has a maximum (realistic) power of 143X. It weighs about 4 lbs.

The A70Lf OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) comes complete with:

• A smaller 6 power finder telescope that attaches to the main scope to help you center the object.

• A 20mm eyepiece for general viewing.

• A 6.3mm eyepiece for those really clear nights, for high power viewing.

• A diagonal Prism that connects the eyepiece to the telescope.

• A Dew / Sun shield.

• A Complete tube rings and dovetail plate to quickly attach the A80Mf to one of the optional Vixen mounts.

• Porta Mount with locking extension legs, accessory tray, slow motion controls and adjustment tool set.
