Skywatcher AC 70/700 AZ-2
The Skywatcher AC 70/700 AZ-2 is a great first step if you want to explore the moon, planets or distant objects. You set it up quickly. You aim it easily. And you see immediate results. This scope gives you a clear, calm view of the night sky without complicated settings.

More light, more detail
The 70 mm aperture captures much more light than smaller beginner binoculars. As a result, you see the moon with sharp relief: craters, edges and shadows come to life. With planets, you see the first clear details, such as the rings of Saturn or the cloud bands on Jupiter.The 700 mm focal length makes the image calm and easy to focus, keeping your object steady.

Clear image, day and night
During the day, use the same telescope for nature observation with an inverted lens or Amici prism. The image remains clear and straight, so you follow birds, ships or landscapes as if they were close.The focuser rotates smoothly and precisely. As a result, you focus quickly and the image remains stable as you look further out.
AZ-2 mount: simple, smooth, direct
The AZ-2 mount works intuitively. You simply move the telescope up, down or sideways. Nothing complicated. You aim, focus and you're ready to watch.The aluminum tripod is light, sturdy and adjustable. You easily take it to your garden, balcony or a dark spot just outside the city.

For whom is this ideal?
This telescope is perfect for young beginners and curious adults who want to start astronomy without the hassle. You'll see enough detail to stay excited and enough stability to continue learning. It's a simple, affordable and reliable model that invites you to step outside more often and look for new objects.
