The National Geographic SRT70MM is an easy, affordable way to get started in astronomy, pairing a 70mm achromatic refractor with a solar filter for safe daytime Sun viewing and a companion astronomy app to help you find what you're looking at. The 700mm focal length (f/10) gives clean, high-contrast views of the Moon and planets — a great combination for a first telescope.

It comes on a simple panhandle mount that's easy for beginners to point and track with, no alignment steps required.
