An optical tube of the telescope is mounted on an equatorial mount, which is excellent for observing space. It takes time to learn how to use the telescope; however, tracking astronomical objects is simple and practical. The mount moves smoothly and easily, the optical tube is reliably and durably attached. The tripod is made of aluminum; the height of its legs is individually adjustable to the height of the observer. An accessory tray is included.
The accessories are the main feature of this telescope model. They have been selected in such a way as to allow the full capabilities of an optical tool to be discovered. The use of a short focus eyepiece in conjunction with a Barlow lens allows the maximum practical magnification to be achieved, making it possible to observe sharp and detailed distant objects. A long focus eyepiece is suitable for studying magnified objects. A diagonal mirror provides the opportunity to observe terrestrial landscapes in the most comfortable way possible.
