Innovative Bahtinov Mask Cover (Patented) & Soft carry bag included (color of trim on bag may vary).
Simply put: a joy to use. You will be blown away by the small details you can observe through this APO 132mm; fine details of DSOs, stunning resolution both visually or during astrophotography. Until yesterday this was only a dream at this price!
Stunning Optics

- This scope is extremely sharp and has a great color correction. It is ideal for astrophotography.
- Precision optics with STM coatings.
- Designed by a leading designer with FPL-53 glass.
3.5" FeatherTouch Focuser Upgrade
- 3.5" FeatherTouch Focuser with 3" Rotolock adapter and 2" reducing adapter (1.25" adapter not included)

Do-all Telescope
- The 132mm objective is a great size for both wide-field and planetary observations.
