70mm x 700mm Refractor Telescope

This is the telescope I recommend for most beginners. It's a value-for-money telescope that gives erect image views of land objects and is capable of viewing the brighter objects in the night sky, like the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars and bright star clusters.

This portable telescope comes with a multi-coated, achromatic objective lens of 70mm and a focal length of 700mm. The telescope's sturdy Alt-Azimuth mount allows you to move the scope up and down and left to right, making it easy to point at objects.
