The Meade LX70 R5 5" Achromatic Refractor is equipped with a high-quality air-spaced objective lens producing high resolution and incredible contrast for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observations.

The 6x30 optical viewfinder with cross-hair reticle makes locating faint object quickly and easily.
