Meade NG-70 (140 x 70mm) Telescope

$62.00 to $100.00



Recently upgraded from 60mm to 70mm aperature, Meade's NG70 telescope combines improved light-gathering ability with light-loss-reducing special optical coatings to produce noticeably sharper images of both celestial and terrestrial objects, making for a much better viewing experience. All the major planets except Pluto are clearly visible. The Moon stands out in near three-dimensional detail, revealing craters, mountain ranges, and fault lines. Dozens of external galaxies are visible; and, in our own Milky Way, this telescope displays hundreds of nebulae, star clusters, double and multiple stars, and variable stars.Minimize
