Orion Observer 70mm Equatorial Refractor Telescope – Product Warranty: One year
Product Type: Telescopes > Refractors
This tried-and-true refractor goes the extra distance in introducing the novice to the wonders of the night sky. The Observer 70 features a 70mm fully anti-reflection coated achromatic objective lens, which provides 36% more light-gathering ability than a 60mm. Its 700mm focal length (f/10) will show you the stark beauty of the lunar surface, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s atmospheric belts, or the billowy clouds of the Orion Nebula. The included EQ-1 equatorial mount comes equipped with dual slow-motion controls for manual star tracking and adjustable aluminum tripod. Includes an EZ Finder II finder scope to help you zero in on your celestial targets, two eyepieces – 25mm (1.25″) and 10mm (1.25″) – and 90-deg star diagonal. One year limited warranty.

Decent beginner scope, but really for the price you can go a bit better. For children and new users it is a good scope.
