FirstScope 70 models are powerful
optical instruments that have 100 times the light gathering
ability of the naked eye. This ability allows the FirstScope
70 to deliver images 37% brighter than
those produced by a 60mm refractor telescope. The objective
lens is designed to yield the finest images available in this
class of optical instrument. The accessories are all made of
glass with metal construction, to ensure good image quality.
These telescopes have all glass components, coated optics and
smooth functioning mounts, with the added benefit of slow motion
controls on the mount for easy adjustments. The FirstScope 70
telescope tubes are glossy black aluminum.
The German equatorial mount features setting circles and slow
motion controls on the R.A. and DEC axes. These controls will
enhance your viewing experience by simplifying both locating
and tracking objects. When you're looking for a telescope offering
a bit more versatility and control than the altazimuth models,
these are the telescopes to consider.
These telescopes yield breathtaking views of the moon, Saturn
with its ring structure, Jupiter and its belts, and hundreds
of deep-sky objects including: galaxies, nebulae and star
clusters. Add an optional solar filter and you can observe
activity on the sun.
