A Beginner-Friendly Refractor with Smartphone Astrophotography

The National Geographic 70mm Refractor pairs a 700mm focal length with an easy alt-azimuth mount, making it a great entry point for lunar and planetary viewing without a steep learning curve.

The carbon fiber-style optical tube keeps the whole setup light and portable, while the full-size adjustable tripod with a built-in accessory tray gives you a stable, comfortable viewing platform in the backyard or in the field.

Two Plossl eyepieces plus a 2x Barlow lens cover a magnification range of roughly 26.9x to 144x, and the included smartphone adapter and red dot finder make it easy to locate targets and start capturing images right away.
