A very lightweight and small telescope reflector. Excellent as an elementary sky monitoring tool for very young observers. It is a great model to initiate into the world of amateur astronomy and is often chosen as the first reflector in the family.
Optical System
The telescope collects about 120 times more light than the human eye at night, for this telescope allows observation of objects up to nearly 11.4 star magnitudes (with naked eye visibility up to 6 star magnitudes). The small size of the mirror is related to the optical resolution, which in this telescope makes it possible to resolve stars that are more than 2" away from each other.
Mounting
An azimuthal mount with an adjustable tripod and a large accessory table. It is equipped with a special system for adjusting the vertical and horizontal alignment, which makes observing and tracking even very distant objects extremely easy. The mount is ideal for astronomical observations but can also be used for basic terrestrial observations.
The mount is ideal for astronomical observations but can also be used for basic terrestrial observations.
Extractor and eyepieces
The telescope is equipped with an eyepiece extractor, allowing the use of 1.25" eyepieces. Two eyepieces with focal lengths of 25 and 10mm are included, giving magnifications of 28 and 70x, and a Barlow lens for additional magnifications of 57 and 140x
The telescope, due to its light weight, is ideal as a portable instrument that we can take by car to areas with better air clarity away from big cities.

MILITARY is a premium dealer of Sky Watcher.
Sky-Watcher is a brand established in 1999 on the initiative of the Taiwanese company Synta Technology Corporation, currently recognized as the world's largest manufacturer of amateur astronomical equipment. The range includes telescopes suitable for various levels of expertise, from simple models for beginners to advanced solutions such as ED refractors, Esprit series astrographs, and Maksutov designs. Dobsonian telescopes are also highly regarded, including flagship models with mirrors up to 16 inches in diameter, as well as precision EQ8 equatorial mounts, which are popular with astrophotography enthusiasts. Since 2008, the company has been developing unique Flex Tube Dobsonian telescopes with a telescopically extendable tube, which have become one of the most recognizable elements of Sky-Watcher's offer in the world of amateur astronomy.
