Jupiter was really nice ... with the 25x [eyepieces] I could see four bands. The four moons I saw looked crisp and pinpoints of light... (click for more).
Designed to be portable and compact, our updated Garrett® 70mm F/6.2 binocular telescope is a joy to use for astronomy. The
90º-angled precision helical focusers now accept standard 1.25-inch telescope eyepieces for even greater flexibility.
This design is much easier on the neck than a conventional straight-through binocular, and it’s light weight of just 8.9-pounds makes it fast and easy to set up. You get the best features of a small rich-field telescope – such as 90-degree viewing and variable magnification – without sacrificing the three-dimensional viewing experience of a binocular.
The flat-field objective lenses deliver high-contrast views of deep space objects and solar system targets alike – from quick looks at the moon to observation of comets, the Garrett® GT70-90 binocular telescope can do it all. The included 25x eyepieces feature wide and sharp 63° apparent fields of view. Additionally, you always have the ability to expand your magnification range by inserting virtually any 1.25" telescope eyepiece from 40mm down to about 9mm. The updated Mark II version now features twist-lock eyepiece holders to insure precise centering and make switching between eyepieces easier than ever before.
All air-to-glass surfaces in the air-spaced achromatic objective lenses and the prisms are broadband multi-coated, and the precisely-polished prisms are crafted from high-index BaK4 optical glass. The cast-aluminum binocular body features a durable and attractive glossy white finish and integrated retractable dewshields. Theoptionalfork mount and aluminum surveyor tripod combo is a good match for this instrument, but you can also use any heavy-duty tripod or parallelogram mount with a standard ¼-20 threaded mounting stud. Included with each binocular telescope is a high-quality aluminum-trimmed carrying case. Each binocular telescope is individually tested for collimation as part of our 14-point inspection, and any necessary adjustments are performed by a highly-experienced technician. Covered by our two-year warranty and 30-day return policy.
