A Simple, Reliable Way Into Astronomy

The Omegon Horizon 70/700 EQ Neo pairs a 70mm achromatic refractor with a lightweight equatorial (EQ) mount. Refractors use lenses rather than mirrors, so there is no collimation to worry about and no mirror to keep clean — the telescope is essentially ready to observe as soon as it is assembled.

The equatorial mount, once roughly aligned with the celestial pole, allows smoother tracking of objects as they drift across the sky compared with a simple altazimuth mount, giving beginners a gentle introduction to how most serious astronomical mounts work.

🌙 What Can You See With The Horizon 70/700?

🌙 The Moon

Craters and mountain ranges are sharply rendered by the refractor's crisp optics.

🪐 Saturn

The ring system is visible as a distinct oval shape under good conditions.

♃ Jupiter

The four Galilean moons are easily spotted alongside the planet's main cloud bands.

⭐ Star Clusters

The Pleiades and other bright open clusters look crisp in the wide field.

🌠 Double Stars

A fun target for testing the sharpness of refractor optics.

💡 Why A Refractor Is A Great First Telescope

Refractors are valued for their simplicity: the sealed tube keeps dust and moisture away from the optics, there is no mirror alignment to maintain, and images are typically high-contrast right out of the box. For beginners who want a hassle-free telescope, this low-maintenance design is a real advantage.

🎯 Learning Equatorial Mount Basics

🎯 Smooth single-axis tracking once polar-aligned

🔧 Simple slow-motion control knobs

🧳 Lightweight and easy to carry

📚 A great way to learn the fundamentals before upgrading to a GoTo mount later

⭐ Better Than A Toy Telescope

Many extremely low-cost telescopes use poor-quality optics and flimsy plastic mounts that vibrate at the slightest touch. The Horizon 70/700 EQ Neo uses genuine achromatic glass optics and a proper equatorial mount, giving noticeably steadier and sharper views than typical toy-store telescopes.

🎯 Perfect For

🔭 Beginners

Simple, low-maintenance optics that are ready to use immediately.

🎓 Students

An affordable way to learn both the night sky and equatorial mount basics.

🎁 Gift Buyers

A well-priced, genuine telescope rather than a toy.

📸 Beginner-Friendly Astrophotography

Simple smartphone photos of the Moon are possible with a basic eyepiece adapter. As a manual EQ mount without motor drives, this telescope is best suited to visual observing rather than long-exposure imaging.

💡 Observing Tips For Best Results

Roughly align the mount's polar axis toward the north (or south) celestial pole for smoother tracking.
Start with the lowest-power eyepiece to find objects before increasing magnification.
Allow the lens a few minutes to adjust to outdoor temperature.
