The Celestron Travel Scope DX 70mm f/6 AZ Refractor Telescope is designed for portability and ease of use for both astronomical and Earth-bound use, and with a slew of accessories including a smartphone adapter you'll be able to document, share, and post everything you see.

Its refractor-style optical tube assembly (OTA) has a respectable aperture that gathers the light needed to get great views of the moon, large planets like Jupiter and Mars, as well as stars and constellations. A photo-style alt-az pan/tilt head easily mounts the OTA with a simple screw and has a single control handle that enables smooth movement and locks the altitude in place for hands-free use to minimize vibration. Supporting it all is a photo-style tripod that collapses low enough for tabletop use and extends to full-sized height.

In addition to the smartphone photo adapter, Celestron includes a Bluetooth remote shutter release that is compatible with most Android and iOS phones so you can take a photo or video without having to touch your devices, which can cause unwanted vibrations. For visual observation, you also get a moon filter to safely look at it, an erecting prism that corrects views horizontally and laterally so the Travel Scope can be used as a conventional spotting scope, plus two eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens. Everything in this kit—OTA, tripod, head, and accessories—fits inside a dedicated canvas backpack to make it as portable as possible.
