Review: Good starting point - Instructions are not that easy to follow. Good quality product which looks sleek once assembled. Review: Amazing experience!! - This is my first telescope and it was really easy to set up. First time viewing the night sky i got to see jupiter and its moons and saturn and i could just make out the rings. I was super happy with this and really was an amazing experience. Now buying more equipment like a barlow lens to increase magnification and a colour filter but really wish i spent more money on the 90eq version now. However this telescope is amazing and don’t be put off by people having trouble setting it up. Just be sensible and look at the instructions and its all really self explanatory anyway. You can get apps on your phone that show you where planets/consolations/iss is etc that you can then easily track, making astronomy easy for anyone. Also i am in the centre of a busy city yet i was still able to see both these planets in an amazing way.... Cant wait to see the other planets now when they are visible in the night sky! 10/10 product ## Features - Manual German equatorial mount with setting circles - to locate and track sky objects - Adjustable, full height steel tripod with deluxe accessory tray - Quick and easy no-tool setup - Accessories include a 20mm and 10mm eyepiece, erect image diagonal, and a finderscope - Download Starry Night Basic Software with a 36,000 object database, printable sky maps and enhanced images including 3D renderings of stars, exoplanets, and galaxies ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000MLL6QE | | Best Sellers Rank | 106,611 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 328 in Telescopes | | Box Contents | Optical tube, Tripod and mount (preassembled), 20mm and 10mm eyepiece, Erect Image Diagonal, Red-dot finderscope and User Manual | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Fully Coated | | Compatible Devices | Any smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 333 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 15.55 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Kellner or Plossl | | Eye piece lens description | Kellner or Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.02 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 900 mm | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234210621, 00400100027509 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 103.5D x 38W x 24.5H centimetres | | Item Weight | 17.99 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 21062-CGL | | Model Name | AstroMaster 70EQ | | Model Number | 21062 | | Model name | AstroMaster 70EQ | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 CR2032 batteries required. | | Objective Lens Diameter | 70 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 70 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 36 inches | | Optical-Tube Length | 36 inches | | Power Source | Manual Operation | | Product Features | Includes Starry Night Basic Software | | Telescope mount description | Equatorial Mount | | UPC | 400100027509 050234210621 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Ratio | 2 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** Kellner or Plossl - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** AstroMaster 70EQ - **Objective lens diameter:** 70 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 36 inches - **Power source:** Manual Operation - **Product dimensions:** 103.5D x 38W x 24.5H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![Astromaster 70 EQ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lThiNXOuL.jpg) ![Astromaster 70 EQ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6127q363RTL.jpg) ![Astromaster 70 EQ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511yNRthdvL.jpg) ![Astromaster 70 EQ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bnUHrXg+L.jpg) ![Astromaster 70 EQ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61D5jo4APSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good starting point *by S***H on 2 July 2020* Instructions are not that easy to follow.
