This allows the app to know exactly where the telescope is pointed. Arrows on the screen will guide you to your target. When the green reticle appears, you are looking through the eyepiece and the object is in view.

You can see the craters on the Moon, the four large moons of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. With the included 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, you can view at 28x and 70x magnification. The Barlow lens doubles that magnification. Effectively usable magnification is up to approximately 140x, twice the lens aperture in millimeters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light, complete, and set up like that<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The azimuthal mount moves smoothly in altitude and direction, precisely as you intuitively want to aim. The aluminum tripod is height-adjustable, even for children. The whole set weighs about 4 kg and is ready in minutes. The included zenith mirror provides an upright image: during the day, the telescope can therefore also be used for nature observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What's in the box?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optical tube 70\/700 with finder mount<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StarSense smartphone dock<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Azimuth mount with aluminum tripod<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25mm and 10mm Eyepieces (1.25 inch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2x Barlow lens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red dot viewfinder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erect image zenith mirror<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StarSense Explorer app unlock code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommended accessory<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>moon filter (1.25 inch)<\/strong> It softens the harsh moonlight and brings out more detail in the craters.
