This classic Newtonian design telescope mounted on a sturdy, simple to use EXOS Nano Equatorial Mount is a ready-made partner for an intermediate or ambitious novice astronomer to explore the cosmos and easily track objects across the sky. The aperture is large enough that, on clear nights, you'll be able to resolve planets, rings and moons to powerful detail. With its fairly wide field of view and ample light gathering ability, you'll be happy to have the included smartphone camera adapter to photograph celestial objects. Features The ample 114mm aperture and fast f/4.3 focal ratio deliver bright, wide-field images. Fully-coated Newtonian optics reduce light diffraction, making for high contrast, true-color images.
