Vixen - A70Lf 70mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope Package with GP2 Mount

The A70Lf, although inexpensive, is not a toy telescope. Many amateurs begin with and enjoy
countless hours under the stars with this instrument It has the same quality glass and exacting
workmanship that goes into our much larger instruments.

With this size aperture you will, as I did, be on your way to discovering the craters and
mountains on our moon, the rings around Saturn and the storms on Jupiter. With a star chart
you’ll find beautiful double stars of varying colors, and on moonless nights, you will see the
Andromeda Galaxy, The Orion Nebula and hundreds of other Deep Sky objects.
