Bresser Junior 70/400 AZ Blue Telescope with Backpack
Discover the Night Sky with Your First Real Telescope
Ready to explore the night sky and embark on your own astronomical adventure? The Bresser Junior 70/400 AZ Blue refractor telescope with backpack is the perfect companion for young astronomers aged 8 and up. With a 70mm objective lens diameter and a 400mm focal length, this telescope delivers enough light-gathering power and resolution to observe the Moon, planets, nebulae, and open star clusters in impressive detail. Everything you need to start observing immediately is included - just unpack, set up, and head out under the stars.
Designed for Beginners - Easy to Use from Day One
The Bresser Junior 70/400 AZ Blue is designed so that even first-time astronomers with no prior experience can operate it with ease. The simple azimuth mount allows smooth movement of the optical tube in all directions - up, down, left, and right. The 5x24 finderscope makes it quick and easy to locate objects in the sky before switching to the main telescope for detailed observation.
The star diagonal mirror provides comfortable ergonomics even when looking straight up toward the zenith - your eye stays in a natural position, so extended viewing sessions remain relaxed and fatigue-free. The entire instrument is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport and set up anywhere outdoors.
Flexible Magnification for Every Observation
Three included eyepieces deliver magnifications of 20x, 33x, and 66x. With the included 1.5x erecting lens, these magnifications increase to 30x, 50x, and 100x, giving you a wide range of options for different observing goals:
- 20x-30x - ideal for sweeping overviews of the Moon or star-hopping through constellations
- 50x - excellent for studying the lunar surface, Saturn's rings, or Jupiter's moons
- 100x - reveals fine details invisible to the naked eye
Switching between eyepieces takes only a few seconds, so the telescope adapts instantly to whatever you want to observe.
Not Just for Astronomy - Perfect for Daytime Use Too
This telescope is not limited to nighttime astronomy. The star diagonal mirror produces an upright and laterally correct image, making the telescope perform like a classic nature spotting scope during the day. It works great for birdwatching, wildlife observation, sightseeing, and hiking trips. Switching between astronomical and terrestrial observation requires no adjustments at all - this telescope truly offers year-round, all-day versatility.
Capture and Share Your Observations
The included smartphone holder lets you attach your mobile phone directly to the eyepiece to photograph or film the objects you observe. Sharing images of the Moon or planets with family and friends is as simple as taking a regular photo. This feature is especially popular with children and young astronomers who love to document and share their discoveries.
