The Vixen A70Lf 70mm (2.8 inch) Telescope with SkyPod Mount, GOTO computer 25001 is a great beginner scope with a completely automated GOTO mount. The A70-Lf Telescope with SkyPod by Vixen gives you access to over 14,000 stars, planets, nebula and galaxies. In an instant you can program the SkyPod mount to move to any object listed and actually see the star field move on the built-in chart in the hand controller. What is great about the Vixen A70 Lf Telescope is that it can be easily upgraded. Users start with a basic telescope to view the brighter celestial objects, and later, when the user's knowledge of astronomy grows, the A-70Lf Telescope can be replaced with a variety of larger telescopes. The Vixen A 70 Lf 70mm (2.8 inch) Telescope with SkyPod Mount, GOTO computer 25001 allows users to grow with their system.
