The low power 25mm eyepiece produces a magnification of 28X that is perfect for viewing moon with its craters and planets. While the 9mm eyepiece with 78X magnification can be used to view deep sky objects clearly. Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope features a 70 mm aperture.

The Altizmuth mount of Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is easier and lighter to use than an equatorial mount, the slow motion knobs help keep the objects in view. The rotation of Earth causes the planets or object to move or drift out of the eyepiece but the slow motion knobs keeps them in target even with a high power eyepiece. Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is sensitive to vibration so a high power can be little difficult to focus. It is very to assemble as well and its instructional DVD also include a Lunar atlas and planetarium software and you can easily add eyepieces to get better view.

Some minor issues that reviewers found with Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope that it is very sensitive and you can lose target with even a slight vibration. Its tripod is very small for some people and you might have to squat to view through it but this is minor issue and not a deal breaker. Another reviewer said that he by mistake set the tube of Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope backwards and has been unable to reverse it which makes the telescope unusable and the user manual didn’t said that this was irreversible mistake or any caution line. According to that reviewer the product customer services haven’t been helpful either.

We would recommend to users to read the manual carefully before setting it up. Overall the Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is a great product for beginner astronomers who are looking to dip their toes into space
