Lenticular telescope with a diameter of 120 mm and a focal length of 600 mm. It is a short-focus achromatic refractor.
It is equipped with a 2" rack and pinion eyepiece focuser. There is a standard Sky-Watcher finder mount on the body of the focuser. The telescope allows observing planets and works well when searching for nebular objects. In addition, it is also possible to use it as a spotting scope.
The tube has been suspended on an AZ3 azimuthal mount, whose low weight makes it easy to carry the whole set. Micro-movements allow gentle movement in both axes of the mount. Mounting clamps are included, while it is possible to suspend a camera if you remove them and additionally provide a 1/4" adapter.
