Byomic Junior Telescope 70/300

The Byomic junior telescope 70/300 is a compact mirror telescope that can be set up within a few minutes. The only thing the beginner astronaut needs to do is to mount the eyepiece holder and choose one of the two eyepieces and place them in the holder. The searcher must be attached to the telescope with two screws and the telescope can be mounted on the tripod. The telescope is fixed in the tripod with two screws, after which the lever in the tripod has to be rotated for stability and the telescope is ready for use.

This telescope is ideal for the beginner astronaut, thanks to the telescope, it is possible to start making sky observations. The telescope can withstand a push, the handset allows the telescope to be easily operated and the celestial bodies can be observed. The standard has folded out a height of 39 cm.

The telescope features a barlow three-time lens that allows an extra magnification, the barlow lens is used in conjunction with an eyepiece. In addition to the Barlow lens, there is also an Erecting Eyepiece with a one-and-a-half magnification. The erecting eyepiece can be used when you want land-based sightings with the telescope. The erecting eyepiece will turn the image so that you have a plain image.

The Junior Mirror telescope 70/300 is a very nice telescope for the beginner young astronomer. It's a compact model, resistant to a push and comes with a lever that allows the telescope to be easily operated. Through the barlow lens, the celestial bodies can be viewed even better, through the erecting eyepiece, the telescope can also be used for land observations.

Two eyepieces are supplied, one with a focal length of 20 mm and one with a focal length of 6 mm, which allow magnifications of 15x and 50x respectively.

It is advisable to start with a small magnification and then increase it. If you start immediately with a high magnification (6 mm eyepiece), the results will usually not be satisfactory.

If an eyepiece is used with a high focal length and therefore low magnification, the eye will catch more light, resulting in a clearer image than if a high magnification is used with a low focal length.

With the aid of the viewfinder, the telescope can easily be directed towards a particular celestial body. When the viewfinder is at the same level as the telescope, you will be able to trace a celestial body by looking through the viewfinder. If you now look through the eyepiece, you will get the same image, only much closer. To adjust the finder to your telescope, you can do this during the day using a lamppost at 200 metres. You can then position the finder so that you see the same subject when looking through both the eyepiece and the finder.
