This telescope is the perfect gift for school children with an interest in astronomy. You need no special knowledge or skills to use this telescope.
The telescope’s optical design is that of a classic achromatic refracting telescope. As the telescope’s lens is made of glass with an anti-reflection coating, you can really see the image quality. The Moon, Jupiter and Saturn, in particular, make for exciting observing. Of course, you can also observe deep sky objects which are further away and objects here on the Earth.
The AZ-2 Mount:
This mount is very popular with beginners in astronomy as it is very simple to operate. The entire telescope is very easy to move around in both azimuth and elevation. For beginners, it has the advantage that they do not have to worry about first aligning the telescope before use. Setting up the telescope is hence very quick and straightforward: Simply erect the tripod and mount, attach the telescope to it, and you are ready to go! The fine adjusters can be locked in both axes so that objects remain in the field of view once found. The mount is attached to a height-adjustable aluminium tripod.
Included in delivery of the mount:
- AZ-2 altazimuth mount
