The three-element, air-spaced ED triplet optical design virtually eliminates false color, helping stars stay sharp, clean, and beautifully corrected across the field. Features FCD-100 glass and fully multi-coated optics with Sky-Watcher’s Metallic High-Transmission Coatings for excellent light transmission, clarity, and contrast. Compact 70mm aperture design makes this refractor easy to transport while still delivering impressive imaging capability for wide-field deep-sky targets. The sturdy 2.7-inch linear rail rack-and-pinion focuser with dual-speed 11:1 micro focus provides smooth, precise adjustments with excellent stability and minimal image shift. A built-in Camera Angle Adjuster makes framing your target simple without rotating the entire focuser or optical tube. The glossy white aluminum optical tube, thread-on dew shield, tube rings, V-style dovetail, and carry handle give this telescope a polished, field-ready feel. Ideal for astrophotographers who want premium APO refractor performance in a compact, travel-friendly package without stepping into oversized observatory-class gear.
