Lens telescope with a diameter 120 mm and focal length 600 mm. This is a short-focus achromatic refractor.
It is equipped with a 2" rack and pinion eyepiece focuser. There is a standard Sky-Watcher finder mount on the focuser body. The telescope allows for planet observations and performs well in the search for nebular objects. Furthermore, it can also be used as a spotting scope.
The tube is mounted on AZ3 azimuth mount, whose low weight allows for easy transport of the entire set. Micromovements allow subtle shifting in both mount axes. Mounting rings are included, and in the case of their removal and providing an additional 1/4" adapter, it is possible to mount a camera.
