Description
Smartphone-assisted sky identification defines the National Geographic AC 70/400 AR-App Telescope, an achromatic refractor with a 70 mm aperture, 400 mm focal length, and listed f/5.7 optical ratio. Its manual alt-azimuth panhandle mount, smartphone adapter bracket, built-in compass, K20 and K6 eyepieces, 90-degree diagonal, red dot finder, aluminum tripod, and accessory system support app-guided lunar, planetary, star-cluster, and terrestrial observation.
The manual mount uses direct positioning rather than motorized tracking, while the smartphone holder supports digital reference and target identification through a compatible application. The 400 mm focal length provides a compact wide-field configuration, and the optical tube, phone adapter, focuser, diagonal, tripod, and eyepieces should be protected from dust, moisture, impact, and excessive pressure during setup and travel.
