Capture the Faint Glow of Deep Space
Sonora's high-definition optical system delivers the cosmos' true textures and colors right to your eye. From Jupiter's bands and Saturn's rings to the Moon's craters, every detail is so crisp you can almost feel its presence.
Wide Views, Close Insights
The large focusing wheel design allows for easy adjustment between a 15X low power view, providing a wide field to effortlessly capture magnificent targets like the Orion Nebula and large star clusters. Switch to 150X high power to clearly observe the three-dimensional depth of lunar craters and intricate planetary details, ensuring a sharp and vivid stargazing experience.
Optical Finder, Target Locked
The Sonora Optical Finderscope is your main telescope's best partner. It offers a significantly wider, lower-magnification view than the main scope, allowing you to easily locate targets in the vast expanse of the night sky. Simply center your target in the finderscope's reticle, and your main telescope is perfectly aimed!
Wide, Comfortable, Clear Star-Finding
The Sonora 20mm Eyepiece provides the perfect medium-low magnification, ensuring your view is both wide and bright. It features an extra-large exit pupil and comfortable eye relief, making viewing easy even for eyeglass wearers, eliminating the cramped feeling of traditional eyepieces. Whether for full-disk lunar viewing, large open star clusters, or confirming celestial locations, this is the main eyepiece you'll reach for most often.
300mm Focal Length – Capture Distant Details
70mm Large Aperture
The Sonora 70mm utilizes high-precision optical lenses which, combined with the powerful 70mm aperture, dramatically boost the system's resolution. Higher resolution means you can discern subtle textures on planets and the finest structures on the Moon. Even when using high-magnification eyepieces, it maintains stable clarity and high contrast, allowing you to truly experience the magic of astronomical observation.
Multi-Layer Optical Coating
Sonora telescopes utilize Fully Multi-Coated (FMC) technology on all lens surfaces to maximize light penetration and minimize surface reflection. This means we deliver up to 99% of the effective light into your field of view. The result: brighter images, superior contrast, and richer colors, giving you unparalleled clarity when observing deep-sky objects or fine planetary details.

Sonora Deep Dive: Excellence in Every Detail
Our story
Sonora was founded from Oliver Bennett's frustration with traditional telescopes that were bulky, hard to adjust, and often failed to provide a sharp, immersive view of the night sky. Oliver believed that exploring the cosmos should be intuitive and awe-inspiring, not complicated.
This led to Sonora. The brand promises to use advanced optics and precision engineering to deliver clear, crisp, and comfortable astronomical observations.Sonora’s mission: To help everyone explore the universe with clarity, ease, and precision.
