Vixen A70LF 70mm Telescope

The Vixen A70LF 70mm telescope with Porta Mount 3225 model tripod is an ideal beginner's telescope that reminds one of the classic old backyard 'scopes of yesteryear. The difference is that those models were inexpensive, true enough (the Vixen A70LF comes in for under 400 dollars), but they were also very poor in terms of being able to track celestial objects across the nighttime sky.

That won't be a problem with the Vixen A70LF 70mm telescope, for sure. The model has a solid optics package and the lightweight, yet sturdy, mount combines with the telescope to deliver an extremely pleasurable viewing experience. Known as an "achromatic refractor telescope, " the A70LF makes an evening of sky watching a breeze.

Those sky watching activities are helped by the two fine adjustment handles. This makes it easy to complete whole circles in tracking the movement of many celestial objects. Additionally, the terrestrial object viewing capabilities are first-rate, especially if one is planning on a bit of whale watching or even a slow scan of all the terrain below a high peak.

The Vixen A70LF 70mm telescope is considered a beginner's model but one wouldn't know that just from looking at it. Quality construction and rock-solid steadiness when it's sitting on the Porta Mount 3225 tripod will make many a person think it's a 'scope that costs many hundreds of dollars more than the price point in which it actually resides.

Taken all together, the Vixen A70LF 70mm telescope with Porta Mount 3225 tripod will work equally as well for the real beginning nighttime sky gazer as it will for the more seasoned hand who wants to practice tracking celestial objects manually and without resorting to a pricier computer-controlled model. The Vixen hits a price sweet spot, enabling parents to introduce their children to astronomy and sky gazing without breaking the bank to do so.
