The Sky-Watcher Az-2 SKWMERCURY70 telescope features a 70 mm aperture Fraunhofer achromatic objective lens with a 500 mm focal length, an air gap, and multilayer anti-reflection coatings on the glass-to-air surfaces. Its design corrects chromatic aberration and provides sharp images, even at high magnifications. The AZ2 mount moves horizontally and vertically, with simple controls that make locating and aiming easier.
The included 10 mm and 25 mm eyepieces provide magnifications of 50x and 20x, respectively. The telescope is suitable for observing the Moon, planets, star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. The focuser is a 31.7 mm rack-and-pinion type, with a brake and T2 thread.
