Optical Performance and Magnification
The refractor optics with 50mm aperture provides sufficient light gathering power for observing basic celestial objects. Magnification of 18-60x enables detailed study of the Moon with its craters and maria, observation of planets such as Jupiter with its moons, or Saturn with its characteristic rings. Under favorable conditions, it's possible to spot the International Space Station ISS during its flyover. Thanks to the included diagonal mirror, you get an upright image that is ideal for terrestrial observations, making this telescope a versatile optical instrument.
Mount and Accessories
The telescope features a practical azimuthal mount on an aluminum tabletop tripod, which allows easy targeting of desired objects through intuitive horizontal and vertical movements. The complete set includes two eyepieces - 6mm for high magnification and 20mm for wide field of view and lower magnification. The diagonal mirror ensures comfortable observation without neck strain, significantly enhancing comfort during extended observation sessions. An accessory tray keeps all necessary components within easy reach.
User-Friendly Design
Manual control of the telescope is very simple and intuitive, requiring no electrical power or complex setup procedures. Due to its compact dimensions and low weight, the telescope is ideal for transportation and use in various locations. Quality construction ensures long-term reliability and resistance to regular use. This telescope represents an excellent investment for anyone wanting to discover the beauties of the universe and terrestrial panoramas.
