Achromatic Optics: A Window to the Universe

At the heart of this telescope is a high-quality achromatic lens system. Two lenses work together to produce bright and sharp images while minimizing color distortion. Planets such as Jupiter and Saturn begin to reveal details like 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 visible.

Smooth and Precise Focusing

Many beginner telescopes use simple rack-and-pinion focusers that can wobble and make focusing difficult. This model features a Crayford focuser that operates smoothly on ball bearings, allowing accurate and wobble-free adjustments. Even at higher magnifications, achieving sharp focus is easy and comfortable.

Suitable for Daytime Nature Observation

With the included 90° Amici prism, the telescope produces an upright, correctly oriented image. This makes it ideal not only for astronomy but also for observing wildlife, birds, and distant landscapes during the day. It becomes a versatile instrument for exploring both sky and Earth.

Complete Accessory Package for an Easy Start

The included accessories ensure you are ready to begin immediately. Two Plössl eyepieces provide low and medium magnifications. The 2x Barlow lens doubles magnification when inserted between the telescope and eyepiece.

An LED red dot finder with adjustable brightness helps you quickly locate objects in the sky. The extension tube allows you to achieve the correct focus position when required.

Turn Your Smartphone into an Astro Camera

The smartphone adapter enables you to attach your mobile phone directly to the eyepiece for photography. Capture detailed lunar landscapes or planetary views with ease. The Bluetooth remote shutter release minimizes vibrations for sharper images, making it simple to share your observations.
