If you're looking for an entry-level telescope that does it all, you've come to the right place. This incredibly balanced telescope is ideal both for space viewing and daytime observing. Most entry level scopes at this price point are 60mm or smaller. But with a larger 70mm aperture this telescope has a third more light gathering power than smaller scopes. The fully coated achromatic 70mm primary objective lens, is maintenance free and ready to use right out of the box. With a 700mm focal length, combined with 3 include eyepieces and a 2x barlow lens you'll enjoy a range of magnifications from 35x to 350x. That makes this telescope ideal for just about any observing application. The aluminum tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. With the equatorial mounting, the telescope is designed to move in any direction -- making it possible to track the movements of stars as the track across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale in conjunction to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope in any direction with a smooth, steady motion.

The Skywatcher 102AR-AZ4S offers 62% more light gathering than a smaller 80mm lens, this telescope excels at every astronomical and terrestrial endeavor. Jupiter's bands reveal ripples, whirlpools and discontinuities; the Moon shows additional crater detail, rills, fault lines, etc. that are simply indiscernible with smaller aperture scopes; deep-space objects start to display their essential structure like the beehive of stars surrounding the core of the globular cluster M13; emission nebulae exhibit extensions of glowing gases and dust filaments far from the central area of luminosity, plus the characteristic shape

The Premium 110mm ED refractor offers the inspired amateur astronomer an impeccably crafted, high-performance instrument for a great price. It excels for both astro-imaging and visual observation, boasting extra-low dispersion "ED" optics for reduced chromatic aberration, a dual-speed Crayford-style focuser, and impeccable fit and finish. The front end features a fully multicoated, air-spaced 110mm (4.3") doublet objective with one element made from ED glass, which significantly reduces chromatic aberration - and the associated color fringing around bright objects - compared to standard optical glass. Everything about this telescope says quality. The baffled aluminum tube sports a retractable lens shade. The machined aluminum 2" Crayford-style focuser provides ultra-smooth focusing as well as coarse and fine focus control. It handles heavy cameras and accessories (1.25" compression-ring adapter included) and rotates for optimal camera positioning. Another nice touch: an engraved millimeter scale on the focuser drawtube, which can be especially helpful for imaging. Quality metal tube rings and an 8" tube ring mounting plate are included, as are a dovetail base for an optional Orion finder scope and a metal, thread-on objective dust cap.
