The Celestron Travel Scope DX 70mm f/6 AZ Refractor Telescope is designed for portability and ease of use for both astronomical and Earth-bound use, and with a slew of accessories including a smartphone adapter you'll be able to document, share, and post everything you see.





Its refractor-style optical tube assembly (OTA) has a respectable aperture that gathers the light needed to get great views of the moon, large planets like Jupiter and Mars, as well as stars and constellations. A photo-style alt-az pan/tilt head easily mounts the OTA with a simple screw and has a single control handle that enables smooth movement and locks the altitude in place for hands-free use to minimize vibration. Supporting it all is a photo-style tripod that collapses low enough for tabletop use and extends to full-sized height.





In addition to the smartphone photo adapter, Celestron includes a Bluetooth remote shutter release that is compatible with most Android and iOS phones so you can take a photo or video without having to touch your devices, which can cause unwanted vibrations. For visual observation, you also get a moon filter to safely look at it, an erecting prism that corrects views horizontally and laterally so the Travel Scope can be used as a conventional spotting scope, plus two eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens. Everything in this kit?OTA, tripod, head, and accessories?fits inside a dedicated canvas backpack to make it as portable as possible.Purpose-built to fit their 70mm Travel Scope and AZ or EQ PowerSeeker OTA's, the Celestron EclipSmart White-Light Solar Filter easily mounts to the front of the dew shield to convert it into a solar scope for viewing the sun or solar eclipses. The housing is modeled on the original lens cap for a tight fit and is equipped with three thumbscrews to secure it place for additional safety. Made of a proprietary Mylar film, if filters 99.999% of the intense visible light from the sun while blocking 100% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation. A push-on cap protects the filter when not in use. This filter conforms to and meets the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2, Filters for Direct Observation of the Sun, EN 1836:2005 A1:2007 (E) for an E15 Filter for the Direct Observation of the Sun and, AS/NZS 1338.1:2012, Filters for Eye Protectors.
