The Horizon AC 70/700 telescope is your first contact with the stars. The optics have been specially developed for beginners and offer you an easy introduction to the world of astronomy.
A window to the universe: Achromatic optics
The heart of this telescope is its high-quality achromatic optics. Two lenses work together to provide you with a sharp and clear image with minimal colour aberrations. For you, this means that planets such as Jupiter and Saturn reveal their first details, such as cloud bands or the famous rings. The Moon becomes a landscape of craters, grooves and mountains that you can explore for hours. Bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy also become visible.
Sharpness is key: Crayford focuser
Many entry-level telescopes are equipped with simple rack-and-pinion focusers. These often wobble and make focusing a test of patience. But this telescope puts an end to that: it has a Crayford focuser. You will hardly find this feature in any other entry-level telescope series, as it was originally intended for advanced amateur astronomers. A fusion of telescopes into a new type: Horizon! But what can this Crayford focuser do? Because it runs on ball bearings, you can focus the object smoothly and without play – even at very high magnifications. You can now find the perfect sharpness immediately and right from the start.
More than just stars: also ideal for nature observation
With the included amici prism, your telescope becomes a powerful spotting scope for observing the Earth. Unlike with standard astronomical telescopes, you see an upright and non-inverted image. This allows you to observe birds in trees, shy wildlife at the edge of the forest or distant mountain peaks during the day. This makes the telescope a versatile companion for anyone who wants to discover the world: day and night.
The advantages at a glance:
- Easy to get started: Set up your telescope in just a few minutes and start observation right away.
- Sharp, high-contrast images: The high-quality optical glass objective allows you to see details on the Moon and planets.
- Precise focus adjustment: With the Crayford focuser, you can focus sensitively and precisely – unique for beginner telescopes of this size.
