It is also suitable for the first experiments in astronomy as well as for observing the Moon. In addition to the practical application you will be able to expand your existing theoretical knowledge! The telescope comes with a colorful book of knowledge about space. During the day the telescope may be easily converted into a spotting scope to study natural landscapes and distant terrestrial objects.

The optics are made of glass so the telescope produces clear bright images. The achromatic optical scheme and anti-reflective coating of the lenses improve the image quality eradicating aberrations. A standard alt-azimuth mount is used for pointing the telescope which can be mastered by a user at any skill level. The mount is installed on a sturdy aluminum tripod that is adjustable. This allows you to find a comfortable position for stargazing for everyone in the family.
