Explore the night sky with this sleek blue carbon-fiber achromatic refractor telescope, featuring a 70mm front lens and a 400mm focal lengthThis easy-to-use achromatic refractor telescope is ideal for beginner and intermediate astronomers, stargazers and nature lovers. |
Includes Smartphone adapter so you can easily capture and share images and videosYou’ll love that this microscope is equipped with a smartphone adapter, making it easy to take and share images of the moon, the rings of Saturn, or a wildlife video. Capture the images on your smartphone and share with family and friends via Social media and email, or print it out and hang it at home for all to see! |
Includes an adjustable pan and tilt alt-azimuth mount (Tripod)The pan and tilt adjustable alt-azimuth mount permits the telescope to move both horizontally and vertically. |
Also Includes two 1.25” eyepieces (K6 mm & K20 mm), and a red dot viewfinder to help you locate and focus in on objects of interestThe Explore One CF400SP Telescope with its 70mm aperture and 400mm focal length, comes with two interchangeable eyepieces (20mm and 6mm) that will magnify objects by 20 or 67 times. The 45⁰ erecting prism diagonal adjusts the view so that images appear right side-up instead of upside down, while also providing the correct left-to-right image. |

Diagonal: A mirror that deflects the ray of light 90 degrees. With a horizontal telescope tube, this device deflects the light upwards so that you can comfortably observe by looking downwards into the eyepiece. The image in a diagonal mirror appears upright, but rotated around its
vertical axis (mirror image).
Focal length: Everything that magnifies an object via an optic lens has a certain focal length. The focal length is the length of the path the light travels from the surface of the lens to its focal point. The focal point is also referred to as the focus. In focus, the image is clear. In the case of a telescope, the focal length of the telescope tube and the eyepieces are used to determine magnification.
Lens: The lens turns the light that falls on it around in such a way so that the light gives a clear image in the focal point after it has traveled a certain distance (focal length).
Eyepiece: An eyepiece is a system made for your eye and comprised of one or more lenses. In an eyepiece, the clear image that is generated in the focal point of a lens is captured and magnified still more.
Magnification: The magnification corresponds to the difference between observation with the naked eye and observation through a magnifying device like a telescope. If a telescope configuration has a magnification of 30x, then an object viewed through the telescope will appear 30 times larger than it would with the naked eye. To calculate the magnification of your telescope setup, divide the focal length of the telescope tube by the focal length of the eyepiece.
NOTE: The magnifying power of a telescope is determined by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. This means that as the focal length of your eyepiece increases, the magnifying power decreases.
