The blue version of Bresser's JUNIOR 70/400: a 70/400 refractor on an azimuthal mount and aluminum tripod, with H20, H12 and H6 eyepieces, a zenith prism, a 1.5x erecting lens, a 5x24 finder, a phone holder and a backpack.
This is Bresser’s JUNIOR 70/400 children’s refractor, the same telescope and accessories as the backpack set on the kids’ shelf, in a blue finish. On November 7, 2026 it cost about $48 more there.
A 70 mm lens at 400 mm, f/5.7: wide fields that make the Moon and bright clusters easy to find. Bresser gives 20x to 100x.
Three eyepieces (H20, H12 and H6), a zenith prism, a 1.5x erecting lens, a 5x24 finder, a smartphone holder, a height-adjustable aluminum tripod and a backpack that holds it all. The comparison with Omegon’s 70/700 is at Bresser JUNIOR 70/400 vs Omegon AC 70/700.
The Moon’s craters and seas, Jupiter’s four moons, Saturn’s rings at the top power, and star clusters like the Pleiades.
On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com listed it at about $227 from a third-party seller.

Yes, the same telescope and accessories in blue. On November 7, 2026 this version cost about $227 and the [other color](/reviews/kids-telescopes-bresser/) about $179.
20x with the H20, 33x with the H12 and 67x with the H6; the 1.5x erecting lens takes the top to 100x.
It works, but the alt-azimuth mount and simple eyepieces are aimed at children. An adult might prefer the [Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ](/reviews/refractor-telescopes-celestron-70az/).
