Achromatic Optics: Your Window to the Universe

At the core of this telescope is a high-quality achromatic lens system. Two lenses work together to deliver bright and sharp images while minimizing color distortion. Planets like Jupiter and Saturn reveal their first visible details, such as cloud bands and rings. The Moon becomes a fascinating landscape filled with craters and mountain ranges. Bright deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy are also within reach.

Precise Focusing with a Crayford Focuser

Unlike many beginner telescopes that use simple rack-and-pinion focusers, this model features a Crayford focuser. Originally designed for more advanced instruments, it operates on smooth ball bearings, allowing precise and wobble-free focusing. Even at higher magnifications, achieving sharp focus is easy and comfortable.

Ideal for Nature Observation

The included 90° Amici prism transforms the telescope into a powerful spotting scope for daytime use. It produces an upright, correctly oriented image, making it ideal for observing wildlife, birds, and distant landscapes. This versatility makes the telescope suitable for both daytime and nighttime exploration.

AZ-Bellavista Mount for Quick and Flexible Observing

The AZ-Bellavista mount allows fast, intuitive positioning for spontaneous observations. It functions similarly to a high-quality camera tripod but offers the stability required for astronomy. Whether viewing terrestrial objects or celestial targets, it provides reliable performance.

Mount Advantages at a Glance

• Quick attachment using the L-rail system

• Smooth and precise movement on both axes

• Suitable for astronomical and terrestrial observation

• Stable stainless steel tripod for steady images

• Universal mounting compatibility

Simple Directional Movement

No polar alignment is required. The mount allows easy movement up, down, left, and right, just like a camera tripod. This intuitive operation makes it ideal for quick observation of the Moon, planets, or Earth-based objects.

Fine Motion Control for Accurate Tracking

The mount features precision gears on both axes, controlled by rotary handles. This enables smooth and exact adjustments, keeping objects centered even at higher magnifications. The result is relaxed and precise observing.

Stable Stainless Steel Tripod

The sturdy stainless steel tripod ensures a vibration-free image, even in breezy conditions. An integrated accessory tray clicks into place, keeping eyepieces and accessories organized and within easy reach.

Complete Accessory Package

The included accessory set ensures you are ready to begin immediately. Two Plössl eyepieces provide low and medium magnification options. The 2x Barlow lens doubles magnification when inserted between the eyepiece and telescope. The LED red dot finder makes locating objects quick and simple. The extension tube helps achieve the correct focus position when needed.

Turn Your Smartphone into an Astro Camera

With the smartphone adapter, you can attach your mobile device directly to the eyepiece and capture your observations. Photograph lunar craters or planetary details with ease. The Bluetooth remote shutter release reduces vibration for sharp, clear images. Sharing your discoveries is simple and fun.
