Omegon Horizon AC 70/700 - 2.75" Achromatic Refractor

Omegon Horizon AC 70/700 - 2.75" Achromatic Refractor: the modern complete starter set

The Omegon Horizon AC 70/700 it is the modern version of the classic 70 mm refractor: the same proven f/10 optics, but on the smooth AZ-Bellavista mount with stainless steel tripod and with an accessory package that includes smartphone photography as standard.

The Horizon accessory package is more complete than usual for this class: LED finderscope, 25mm and 10mm Plössl eyepieces, 2x Barlow lens, 90-degree Amici prism for an upright and laterally correct image, extension tube, smartphone adapter, and a Bluetooth remote for vibration-free photos.

Photographing from the first evening

Clamp your phone into the included adapter, relax vibration-free with the Bluetooth button, and your first moon photo is ready. The amici prism erects and laterally corrects the image, so the viewer also has a full-fledged nature viewer during the day.

With the Plössl eyepieces, you view at 28x and 70x; the 2x Barlow brings you to 140x, the practical maximum for this aperture. The steel tripod keeps the image steady.

Featured accessories

An Omegon Premium 1.25-inch moon filter (19.90 euros) dims bright moonlight in your photos and visually. The Omegon Cronus 7mm eyepiece (79 euros) provides a fixed, comfortable 100x magnification for planets.

Never look at the sun through a telescope without a certified solar filter: this can cause permanent eye damage within a second. For the partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, the Bresser solar eclipse glasses (€3.20) are the safest way to watch with the naked eye.

For whom yes, for whom no

Suitable for: Beginners who want a complete modern set, including smartphone photography and nature use.
