A small achromatic refractor with an objective diameter of 60 mm and a focal length of 900 mm. It will work well as a simple piece of equipment for the novice observer, allowing observations of the Moon, Sun (with the appropriate solar filter), planets, bright star clusters, galaxies or even bright nebulae.
The telescope is equipped with a simple parallactic mount with micromotions for smooth and intuitive following of the selected object.
The 1.25" standard gear eyepiece focuser is compatible with the Sky-Watcher focuser drive.
The kit includes a 90-degree angle cap, a straightening lens that will allow observation of terrestrial objects, and 2 Kellner system eyepieces with focal lengths of 25 mm and 10 mm.
