Description
Portable wide-field observation begins with the Meade AC 70/700 Infinity AZ Telescope, an achromatic refractor with a 70 mm aperture, 700 mm focal length, and listed f/10 optical ratio. Its manual panhandle alt-azimuth mount uses a slow-motion altitude rod, while the multi-coated optics, red dot finder, 90-degree erect-image diagonal, 26 mm and 9 mm eyepieces, 2x Barlow lens, aluminum tripod, accessory tray, and AutoStar Suite software support lunar, planetary, and terrestrial viewing.
The upright diagonal allows suitable daytime landscape observation, while the 700 mm focal length supports the supplied lunar and planetary application. The manual mount does not require batteries or computerized alignment, and the plastic focuser, optical tube, tripod, eyepieces, and diagonal should be stored clean and dry and protected from impact during transport and repeated setup.
