Ultra-Portable Triplet APO Performance for Imaging & Travel
The Sky Rover 70GPS combines premium triplet apochromatic optics with a compact, travel-ready design, making it an excellent choice for astrophotography, wide-field observing, and grab-and-go astronomy. Its 70 mm aperture and fast optical system deliver bright, sharp views with impressive contrast while remaining lightweight and easy to transport for dark-sky trips and portable imaging setups.
Built around a precision air-spaced triplet APO optical design, the 70GPS is engineered to provide excellent color correction and sharp stars across the field—ideal for capturing nebulae, star clusters, and wide-field deep-sky targets. Whether you're imaging with a dedicated astronomy camera or enjoying visual observing under dark skies, the telescope delivers clean, detailed performance with premium refractor optics.
The telescope also features a precision dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with an integrated CAA (Camera Angle Adjuster), making it easy to rotate and frame your camera during imaging sessions without disturbing focus. Combined with its sturdy mounting system and lightweight construction, the 70GPS is designed to keep cameras and accessories securely supported while remaining highly portable and imaging-friendly for astronomers who want premium refractor performance in an easy-to-carry package.
Optical Design
The optical system adopts an air-spaced triple apochromatic design, incorporating a Super ED glass element. The 70 GP S (70APO PRO) series provides excellent control of chromatic aberration and spherical aberration, even when used at very high magnifications.
All-New Handle, Tube Rings, and Dovetail Plate
The telescope features an all-new handle, tube rings, and dovetail plate. The dovetail plate adopts a weight-reduction cutout design, making it more compact and portable. Multiple threaded mounting holes are provided on the handle, allowing convenient installation of various accessories.
Threaded Handle
