This refracting telescope has greater contrast than reflecting telescopes, which makes it ideal for planetary and lunar observing. The slow motion control cables makes tracking celestial objects a breeze.
The lightweight nature of this scope makes it ideal for virtually everyone to use.
It includes a 90° star diagonal which provides a right-side up image that is mirrored left/right. It is optimized for astronomy, but can also be used for terrestrial, if you don't mind the mirror image. A correct image prism can be bought separately to properly correct the image for terrestrial viewing.
