VIXEN A 70Lf - 70mm Achromatic Refractor
A perfect telescope for the beginner astronomer or an ideal first telescope for a child.
Item#V2602

My very first telescope was a 70mm (2.8”). With this size aperture
you will, as I did, 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 will 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. Use
for terrestrial viewing to spot those far off ships or nesting birds.
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. Clear Skies
