Celestron Travel Scope 70 DX - Refractor Telescope with Smartphone Adapter & Backpack

Explore the universe by night and the natural world by day with the Travel Scope 70 DX. This lightweight and versatile 70mm refractor telescope includes everything you need to get started—optical tube, tripod, premium accessories, and a backpack to take your astronomy adventures on the road. Whether you’re stargazing from your garden or observing birds in the wild, the Travel Scope 70 DX delivers clear, crisp views anytime, anywhere.

Perfect for Beginners and Travellers

The Celestron Travel Scope 70 DX is an ideal first telescope for beginners, families, and anyone looking for a compact and portable stargazing solution. Thanks to its tool-free setup and lightweight build (just 3.3 lbs), it’s ready for impromptu backyard sessions, camping trips, or travel abroad. The adjustable tripod allows you to customise the height for comfortable viewing—whether you're standing, seated, or using a table.

Day and Night Observation

• At night, observe the Moon, planets like Jupiter and Saturn, bright star clusters, and deep-sky targets such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy.

• By day, use the Travel Scope 70 DX as a spotting scope for birdwatching, nature hikes, whale watching, and distant landscapes.

The erect image diagonal delivers upright views, making the scope just as effective for terrestrial as celestial use.

Capture Stunning Images with Your Smartphone

Turn your telescope into an astrophotography tool with the included universal smartphone adapter. Simply clamp your phone over the eyepiece and start snapping detailed shots of the Moon, planets, or wildlife. The sturdy frame and locking knobs ensure perfect alignment, while the included Bluetooth shutter release allows for hands-free photography, eliminating shakes and vibrations.

Compatible with most smartphones. Some bulky phone cases may need to be removed for proper fit.

Manual Alt-Azimuth Mount with Pan Handle

Easily navigate the skies with the Alt-Az pan-handle mount. The intuitive clutch mechanism lets you smoothly move the telescope up/down and left/right, just like a traditional camera tripod. Perfect for both stargazing and nature tracking.
