Without a doubt this telescope is designed for someone serious about quality! With its 100mm (3.9") multi-coated objective lens and baffled optical tube, you get uncompromising bright, high-contrast images. Plus, its fast focal length of 600mm (f/6) means you can use this scope for both deep-sky and planet observing. The telescope package comes complete with our newly designed EQ equatorial mount with dual slow motion controls for manual sky tracking, and a polar scope for aligning the right ascension axis on the celestial pole. The adjustable aluminum tripod is braced with a high-wall tray to keep your accessories securely in their place. It can also easily mount to a standard camera tripod for terrestrial viewing. Includes a 2" rack and pinion focuser with 1.25" star diagonal, and two 1.25" Sirius Plossl eyepieces (25mm and 10mm). One-year limited warranty.
