Omegon AC 70/700 AZ-2 Telescope

Description

Featuring a 70mm (2.76 inches) aperture and a balanced f/10 focal ratio, the Omegon AC 70/700 AZ-2 Telescope manual refractor system delivers high-contrast views of planetary targets. Designed in Germany with a 700mm focal length, this achromatic telescope achieves 1.66 arcsecond Dawes resolving power and reaches down to a limiting visual magnitude of 11.0 for amateur astronomers.

The Omegon AC 70/700 AZ-2 Telescope incorporates a two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass doublet objective with multi-coated anti-reflective layers on all air-to-glass surfaces. Its rigid aluminum tube construction features internal matte-black anti-reflection baffles to suppress stray light. Supported by an AZ-2 altazimuth fork mount with a slow-motion altitude adjustment rod, the full assembly weighs 3.80 kg (8.38 lbs), providing dependable stability for lunar observation.
