Designed to be portable and compact, our updated Garrett® 70mm F/6.2 binocular telescope is a joy to use for astronomy. The 90º-angled precision helical focusers now accept standard 1.25-inch telescope eyepieces for even greater flexibility. This
design is much easier on the neck than a conventional straight-through
binocular, and it’s light weight of just 8.9-pounds makes it fast and
easy to set up. You get the best features of a small rich-field
telescope – such as 90-degree viewing and variable magnification –
without sacrificing the three-dimensional viewing experience of a
binocular.
The flat-field
objective lenses deliver high-contrast views of deep space objects and
solar system targets alike – from quick looks at the moon to
observation of comets, the Garrett® GT70-90 binocular telescope can do
it all. The included 25x eyepieces feature wide and sharp 63° apparent fields of view. Additionally, you always have the ability to expand your magnification range by inserting virtually any 1.25" telescope eyepiece from 40mm down to about 9mm. The updated Mark II version now features twist-lock eyepiece holders to insure precise centering and make switching between eyepieces easier than ever before.
All
air-to-glass surfaces in the air-spaced achromatic objective lenses and
the prisms are broadband multi-coated, and the precisely-polished
prisms are crafted from high-index BaK4 optical glass. The
cast-aluminum binocular body features a durable and attractive glossy
white finish and integrated retractable dewshields.
Theoptionalfork mount and aluminum surveyor tripod combo is a good
match for this instrument, but you can also use any heavy-duty tripod
or parallelogram mount with a standard ¼-20 threaded mounting stud.
Included with each binocular telescope is a high-quality aluminum-trimmed carrying case.
Each binocular telescope is individually tested for collimation as part
of our 14-point inspection, and any necessary adjustments are performed
by a highly-experienced technician. Covered by our two-year warranty
and 30-day return policy.
