Description

Coordinate-based lunar observation is the focus of the Celestron AC 70/900 Astromaster 70 EQ, an achromatic refractor featuring a 70 mm aperture, 900 mm focal length, and listed f/12.9 optical ratio. Its CG-2 manual German equatorial mount includes setting circles and slow-motion cables for controlled right-ascension and declination adjustments, while the fully coated optics, 20 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, 90-degree star diagonal, StarPointer finder, steel tripod, accessory tray, and counterweight complete the visual setup.

The long 900 mm optical tube uses a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser and is supplied with a 90-degree star diagonal for astronomical viewing. The CG-2 mount provides a polar-style coordinate framework for manual tracking, while the 1.9 kg counterweight balances the optical tube within the specified configuration and the included accessories support the listed lunar, planetary, and bright-target observation applications.
