A perfect choice for kids and curious families, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Telescope Kit includes a complete telescope and extra accessories to keep beginners and parents entertained night after night.

The pleasantly portable Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Travel Telescope is designed to pack up and go whenever you hit the road, the trail, or the air. It's an ideal optical intrument for daytime birding, nature study, and scenic long-distance viewing, and will take you way beyond the Earth's horizon after sunset for some casual nighttime stargazing and Moon-watching. Plus, this value-packed Telescope Kit is loaded with fun extra accessories every stargazer will enjoy.

Built around a 70mm-aperture lens system, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor is designed to obtain portable and detailed images of distant subjects. The telescope sets up in seconds on the included retractable aluminum tripod which allows smooth, easy pointing of the telescope. It comes with a correct-image prism diagonal so things seen through the telescope appear right-side-up and correct left-to-right. Both a 20mm and 9mm Kellner eyepiece (1.25") are included for two different magnification options. An included 5x24 finder scope helps to aim the GoScope III. This complete observational system tucks away neatly in the included backpack for on-the-go action!

In addition to the complete telescope, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Travel Telescope Kit also comes with a great set of extra accessories at an amazing low price.

10276 finder

The included 5x24 finder scope makes it easy to aim the GoScope III.

The 5x24 finder scope has a 24mm lens in the front that collects light, and it has 5-power magnification so you can aim the telescope easily. After following a simple alignment procedure, use the 5x24 finder scope to aim the GoScope III at interesting objects like the Moon and stars at night, and at daytime targets like birds, boats on water, and scenery.

10276 diagonal

A 45° correct-image diagonal provides a bright, correctly oriented daytime view.

This convenient diagonal makes it easy to track moving birds and wildlife during the day, and also planets and the Moon at night since it gives you a view that matches your regular vision. Just insert the diagonal into the telescope's focuser, and then put one of the two included eyepieces into the 45° diagonal and you're ready to focus on stars, the Moon, and more!

10276 backpack

Take the GoScope III telescope anywhere in the included backpack case.

The Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Travel Telescope is a complete observational system that tucks away neatly in its specially designed backpack. With the 70mm telescope, tripod, 45° diagonal, two eyepieces, 5x24 finder scope and MoonMap 260 packed inside, the backpack remains nice and light for easy portability. With the telescope packed up in its backpack case, you can explore starry skies anywhere you go!

MoonMap 260
