Sky-Watcher AO70500-OTA Achromatic Refractor, Black

This is an excellent small scope and is very handy as a grab and go. The doublet optics are crystal clear and the focuser is butter smooth. The attached pictures were taken using this telescope and a Svbony205 electronic eyepiece camera mounted on a Sky-Watcher AZ3 tripod and mount. The telescope is solidly built as is usual with Sky-watcher and I can't recommend it highly enough. It didn't come with any eyepieces nor an erecting prism but as I had these already and the telescope itself was greatly reduced in price it wasn't an issue.EDIT:Noted the 'poor scope' reviews. It's very simple to achieve focus with a short extension tube in between the draw tube and an erecting prism. The moonshots I have posted above are testament to that. I have since found that this scope makes a perfect finder scope for my Sky-watcher Explorer 200P go to. So it has been re-assigned as such . A couple of fairly decent eyepieces such as Achromat Plossl's make this a very usable scope.

Great portable scope with mounting rings. Can also function as a guide scope.

Unable to achieve focus at all with any eyepieceWill be sending back not impressed with the quality of the product

If you already have a mount and are looking for a telescope at this price point you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the optics and how smoothly the focuser allow you to focus, the focuser also has a very sturdy construction which makes using some kind of photographic equipment alot easier.

Crystal clear view of moon stars Orion...BUT you must get the correct diagonal for these scopes so it focuses properly. Dielectric prism the best £40.
