  • General
    • Product Name: AstroMaster 70mm Refractor Telescope
    • Brand: Celestron
    • Model Number: 21048
    • Color: Black
  • Additional Dimensions
    • Objective Lens Diameter: 70 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
  • Included
    • Software Included: Starry Night Basic Edition; SkyPortal App
    • Eyepieces Included: 20 mm eyepiece, 10 mm eyepiece
    • Tripod Included: true
    • Case Included: false
    • USB Cable Included: false
  • Material
    • Material: Aluminum
  • Features
    • Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
    • Optical Design: Refractor (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
    • Mount Type: Manual alt-azimuth
    • Tripod Mountable: Yes
    • Integrated Digital Camera: false
    • Multi-Coated Optics: true (Multiple lens surfaces are coated and/or have multiple layers of thin films applied to each. Generally, more lens coatings provide higher levels of light transmission, contrast, and color clarity.)
  • Imaging
    • Magnification: 165 times
  • Exposure Control
    • Focal Ratio: f/13 (Measurement of the device's optic "speed," calculated by dviding focal length by aperture. The smaller (faster) the f/number, the lower the magnification, wider the field of view, and brighter the image - good for low power observing and deep space photography. Larger (slower) f/numbers are better suited for high power lunar and planetary viewing.)
    • Focal Length: 900 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
  • Other
    • Telescope Class: Refractor
    • Assembly Required: Yes
