Key specifications

Intended uses: visual astronomy, planetary and deep-sky observation, compatible with imaging accessories
How to use
Set up the steel tripod on firm, level ground and attach the aluminum optical tube to the single-fork arm mount following the manufacturer’s assembly steps. Use the included hand control to perform the SkyAlign alignment procedure by centering three bright objects in the eyepiece and pressing ALIGN, or use the hand control database to select targets manually. Start with low-power eyepieces for easy locating, then increase magnification as seeing conditions permit. For imaging, attach compatible cameras and accessories in accordance with the accessory instructions and balance the optical train before long exposures.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use the telescope on nights with stable atmospheric seeing when attempting high magnifications near the stated maximum. Begin observations with low magnification to locate targets, then switch to higher-power eyepieces for detail. Protect optics from dew and store the instrument in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Consult compatible accessory guides for camera adapters, focal reducers or other imaging equipment to ensure correct attachment and focus.
