The AstroMaster LT 70AZ Telescope from Celestron is an excellent way to encourage a budding interest to observing the celestial pieces of eye-candy that adorn the night dome of the heavens. With a moderate 70mm aperture the AstroMaster LT 70AZ comes with everything needed to get started appreciating the wonders of the night sky. Two eye pieces of 10 and 20mm with an included diagonal supply versatile magnification to move from a farther wider view to a closer more detailed study. An attached StarPointer finderscope boasts an illuminated set of concentric circles for acquiring a general direction to aim the telescope while trying to pin-down a specific target. A basic manual altazimuth mount dispenses intuitive tracking and alignment of the scope. This is a better entry level telescope for first time indulgence in the astronomical art of sky watching. It is packed full of everything needed to get started.
