1.25-inch Telescope

Product Detailed Description

A reflector telescope on an equatorial mount gives a school group or family their first steady view of the moon and brighter planets. The Newtonian optical design brings in plenty of light through the standard eyepiece format, so craters and ring systems come through clearly once the finder scope is lined up.

Build and finish

The tube sits on a heavy-duty aluminum tripod that reaches 135cm in height, giving younger viewers a comfortable position at the eyepiece. Adjustment is straightforward, which favors outreach volunteers and first-time owners who need to set up quickly after dark.

Included accessories

• Kellner: 10mm and 25mm
• Sun and moon filters
• 2x Barlow lens
• Finder scope: 6 x 30

Sun and moon filters extend daytime and lunar viewing, while the Barlow lens doubles the available magnification range from the two supplied eyepieces. Packaging and instruction sheets can be organized for gift and education assortments, and a star chart makes a natural companion item for retail bundles.
