The Celestron 70mm Travel Scope is a refractor telescope aimed at beginners, with fully coated glass optics and a 70mm objective lens that gathers more light than a 50mm scope at little extra weight. Two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm) give low and high power views of the night sky or of land-based objects by day. A full-height tripod and a custom backpack are included, along with a download of astronomy software.
