Celestron 70mm Travel Scope

Travel Scope 70 Details

The Celestron 70mm Travel Scope is a great first telescope for someone entering the wonderful world of astronomy.

This 70mm portable refractor is never going to give you great views for deep sky objects, but as a starter option you can't go wrong, esepcially with its two figure price tag!

So what do you get for less than $100? The Celestron 70mm Travel Scope features include

  • High quality, fully-coated glass optics
  • 70mm objective lens
  • A lightweight frame
  • Custom backpack

The 70mm Travel Scope also comes with two eyepieces, 10mm and 10mm plus the Starry Night Astronomy Software.
