NEYLANG 70/400 refractor (NEYLANG-001) review

NEYLANG's 70/400 refractor: fully coated optics, 20 mm and 6 mm eyepieces for 20x and 66x, a tripod from 28 to 55 inches, a Moon filter, a sheet of solar film, a phone holder and a carry bag.

Arithmetic that checks

NEYLANG publishes 70 mm, 400 mm and f/5.7, and 6 mm and 20 mm eyepieces for 20x to 66x. 400 / 20 = 20 and 400 / 6 = 66.7. The figures agree.

Two lists

Another bullet lists three “eyepieces” as a 5x magnifying lens, a star-seeking lens and a positive-image lens. The two descriptions do not match; the 6 and 20 mm figures are the ones the magnification rests on.

A tripod range

28 to 55 inches, published, from seated child to standing adult.

Solar film: a warning

The kit includes a Moon filter and a sheet of solar film. The listing gives no standard and no instructions for the film. A solar filter is safe only when it meets ISO 12312-2 or its maker’s specification, covers the full front aperture and is undamaged. See ISO 12312-2 solar viewing. This page does not say the supplied film makes solar viewing safe.

What observers ask about this one

Is the solar film safe?

The listing names it ("Bader film") without a standard or instructions. Never look at the Sun until a filter made to ISO 12312-2 or the maker's instructions covers the whole front of the telescope and is undamaged; see [ISO 12312-2 solar viewing](/standards/iso-12312-2-solar-viewing/). If in doubt, do not use it.

Which eyepieces come with it?

One bullet says 6 mm and 20 mm; another lists a 5x magnifying lens, a star-seeking lens and a positive-image lens. The 6 and 20 mm figures match the stated 20x to 66x.

What powers does it give?

20x with the 20 mm, 66x with the 6 mm (400 / eyepiece).
