Celestron AstroMaster 70 EQ telescope

Achromatic refractor with an objective diameter of 70 mm and a focal length of 900 mm.

This lenticular telescope collects 98x more light than the human eye at night. It is mounted on an equatorial mount, and the whole thing is light enough to allow easy movement to other locations, such as away from artificial light sources that have an adverse effect on night sky observations. The image seen is bright and high-contrast.
