The flat black Explore One Gemini II 70mm f/10 AZ Telescope is designed for beginners to introduce new users to astronomy by giving them a complete set up for viewing the Moon, planets, and meteor showers. Its manual alt-azimuth mount has an altitude lock and slow-motion control for tracking celestial objects across the night sky. Two eyepieces provide 27x and 72x magnifications, and the included 90° star diagonal makes looking through the scope more comfortable, especially when aiming the telescope toward the zenith. An adjustable-height stainless steel tripod provides a stable platform for sky-watching.
