Celestron's Travel Scope 70: a fully coated 70 mm refractor with a full-height tripod that packs into a padded backpack, 20 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, a finderscope, a star diagonal and Starry Night software.
The Travel Scope 70 is a fully coated 70 mm refractor with a full-height tripod, and both fit into the included padded backpack along with the accessories. Setup takes seconds and needs no tools.
20 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, a finderscope, a star diagonal and a download of Starry Night software.
Moon craters, the planets and daytime scenery, Celestron says. Seventy millimeters also takes in Jupiter’s four moons, Saturn’s rings and the Pleiades.
The focal length is not in the listing, so the eyepieces’ magnifications cannot be calculated from it.
Full height but light. At the 10 mm eyepiece, touch the focuser gently and let the view settle.
On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com sold it directly at $89.99. Celestron states a 2-year US warranty.

Celestron names Moon craters, planets and daytime scenery. A 70 mm also shows Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and bright star clusters.
Yes. Celestron sells it for landscapes and wildlife as much as for the sky.
The [Travel Scope 80](/reviews/travel-telescopes-celestron-smartphone/) adds 10 mm of aperture and a smartphone adapter for about $50 more.
