Product Details

The Meade LX70 5" Achromat Refractor Optical Tube is equipped with a high-quality, diffraction-limited, air-spaced objective lens producing high resolution and incredible contrast for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observations.

With its 2" rack and pinion focuser and 2" 90° diagonal, it is equipped to handle wide-field 2" eyepieces out of the box. The 6x30 optical viewfinder with cross-hair reticle makes locating faint object quickly and easily.
