Bresser Lyra III 70 | 900 R EQ AT4 Refractor Telescope

This long focal ratio 70mm achromatic refractor is the ideal beginner’s telescope as it features a German Equatorial Mount (including full height adjustable tripod), which makes finding, centring and following celestial targets at high powers simple, via the two manual control cables. The Moon and brighter planets are well seen with this system, which will also reveal detail in the major deep sky objects. This telescope is supplied with two eyepieces (a 4mm and a 20mm), giving the user 35x and 175x magnification respectively. A 3x Barlow lens is also supplied, for use with the 20mm eyepiece, which will give a magnification of 105x (we do not recommend using this with the 4mm eyepiece, as this will give a rather high power of 525x). A red dot finder is supplied, which will will make pointing the telescope simple, once collimated to the main optical tube (instructions are supplied). Planetarium software is also supplied (PC and Mac), which allows you to plan your observing sessions from anywhere in the world. A smartphone holder is also supplied which will allow you to use your Smartphone to take pictures through the telescope’s eyepiece.
