Description
Simple lunar and planetary observation starts with the Doerr N 76/700 Meteor 31 AZ-2 Telescope, a 76 mm Newtonian reflector with a 700 mm focal length and listed f/9.2 optical ratio. Its manual AZ-2 alt-azimuth mount uses a micro-adjustment altitude rod, while the SR4, H12.5, and H20 eyepieces, 2x Barlow lens, 1.5x erecting eyepiece, Moon filter, 5×24 finder, aluminum tripod, and accessory tray provide a complete entry-level configuration.
The aluminum optical tube uses a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser for the supplied accessories, while the spherical-core Newtonian design supports manual viewing of the Moon, planets, and suitable bright targets. The mount requires no battery or electronic alignment, and the Moon filter should remain limited to lunar observation because it is not a substitute for a certified solar-filter system.
Key Features of Doerr N 76/700 Meteor 31 AZ-2 Telescope
