A small achromatic refractor with an objective diameter of 70 mm and a focal length of 900 mm. It will work well 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 micromotion, allowing smooth and intuitive following of the selected object.
It comes with a 90-degree angle cap and a so-called righting lens, which will allow observation of terrestrial objects. The set also includes 2 eyepieces in the Kellner system with focal lengths of 25 mm and 10 mm.
