Thinkstar 70mm Refractor for Beginners

The Thinkstar 70mm 400mm refracting telescope is built for entry-level astronomers and casual sky watchers. It ships with an AZ mount, adjustable aluminium tripod, carry bag, phone adapter and wireless remote so new users can start observing the Moon and bright planets straight away.

Steady Views During Long Sessions

The AZ mount provides simple altitude-azimuth motion that remains stable while you track the Moon or planets across the sky. Fully coated optics with high-transmission glass maintain contrast during extended viewing, and the 5x24 finder scope with cross-hair reticle keeps targets centred without constant re-acquisition.

Check Your Setup Before Buying

Verify you have a flat outdoor area for the tripod and enough clearance to point the tube from horizon to zenith. A smartphone is required to use the included adapter and wireless remote for screen-based aiming and imaging. Buyers who want deep-sky photography or motorised GoTo tracking will need a different instrument.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 70 mm 400 mm refractor draw during an all-night observing session?

This optical tube has no electronics and consumes no power; only the wireless remote uses a small button cell for camera shutter control.

What must I already own to use the phone adapter and wireless remote for imaging?

You need a smartphone that fits the universal adapter clamp; the remote pairs with the phone via Bluetooth for hands-free capture.

Will my older 5x24 finder scope mount onto this telescope's bracket?

The supplied 5x24 finder scope attaches to the dedicated mounting bracket with cross-hair reticle for quick object location.
