Featuring ED optics for enhanced colour rendition, the travel-friendly Altair Starwave 70mm F6 ED Doublet refractor is designed to accompany you wherever you go.

Introduced in 2017, this product has undergone continuous enhancements. The 2023 version boasts a more imaging-friendly "geared" focuser and incorporates the Low Index Flouro-Crown Glass ED element, providing nearly flawless colour correction. It represents a substantial improvement over the initial release.

With the optical tube folding down to just under 30cm in length when the dew-shield is retracted, and weighing approximately 2kg, the Starwave 70ED is highly portable.

Capable of both visual observation and wide-field astrophotography, the Starwave 70ED allows you to broaden your interests in the field of astronomy.

For visual observing accessories: explore Altair's Product Code "VISKIT1" a comprehensive kit containing all essential components for embarking on celestial observations. This includes quality eyepieces, a diagonal, and a finder.

The optional accessory kit bundles surpass the quality typically found in commercially available telescope kits, ensuring they complement the optics and construction excellence of the Starwave 70 ED telescope.
