About this product

Designed and built for beginners, the Konus KonusNova-70 70mm f/11 Alt-Az Refractor Telescope offers a complete observational rig for viewing the moon, planets, meteor showers, and satellites—with the ability to use it as a conventional spotting scope for nature and bird watching.

The scope features a conventional and reliable refractor light path with a generous 70mm aperture and long focal length that allows you to easily view all kinds of astronomical objects. Two eyepieces are included that produce 40x and 100x, with a 2x Barlow lens that effectively doubles the magnification of each eyepiece. A 45° diagonal is also provided to put the user in a more comfortable viewing position whether you're looking at the moon high overhead or boats out on the water from a balcony. A 1.5x low power erecting eyepiece corrects the image orientation horizontally and vertically to view terrestrial objects in comfort. Its adjustable aluminum tripod provides a stable observation platform, and its adjustable height from 31 to 48" allows for comfortable viewing by most users. Additional accessories include a filter that allows you to safely view the moon, and a red-dot finder scope that makes finding object fast and star-hopping navigation easy.

Optical Tube Assembly

70mm aperture is ideal for observing the moon and planets with the ability to see bright deep-sky objects like star clusters
800mm f/11.8 focal length produces a high magnification potential for details observations at high power
Classic refractor-style optical design is reliable, easy to clean, and requires no future alignment from the user
Sturdy and reliable rack-and-pinion focuser with 1.25" holder

Mount and Tripod

Mount:

Simple and intuitive manual alt-azimuth
Single-arm fork design is solid and stable while remaining lightweight

Tripod:

Lightweight and durable aluminum
Adjustable height from 31" to 48" accommodates a variety of users and observing positions
Center tray holds accessories such as eyepieces and filters

Included Accessories

Smartphone Adapter:

Quickly capture photos and video of your favorite celestial objects and easily post or share
Universal fit accommodates most popular models
Adjustable lens placement for proper alignment

Diagonal:

Set at a comfortable 45° angle for viewing the sky directly overhead or when using the telescope as a conventional spotting scope
Star configuration corrects the view horizontally, but not vertically
Accepts most 1.25" eyepieces

Eyepieces:

1.25" diameter barrel
Accepts most 1.25" astronomical filters
8mm eyepiece yields a high 100x power for making detailed observations of the moon and planets
20mm eyepiece produces 40x magnification, which maintains a wide field of view for comet watching or viewing entire constellations
Extremely low-power 1.5x erect-image eyepiece allows you to use the telescope as a conventional spotting scope and expand its functionality

Moon Filter:

Installs into the front of each eyepiece
Neutral density filter improves contrast, especially of craters and mountains
Reduces the brightness of the moon for safe viewing
Useful from first quarter through full into the last quarter phase

Barlow Lens:

Installs in the focuser and accepts any 1.25" eyepiece
Effectively doubles the magnification of any eyepiece used with it
Increases magnification without affecting eye relief, making high-power viewing more comfortable than using extremely short focal length eyepieces

Finder:

Unmagnified view ensures faster alignment and easier star-hopping navigation
Simple red aiming dot won't obstruct small or dim objects
Adjustable brightness won't interfere with night-adjusted vision
Includes mounting bracket
