Nauticalia

If you are a newcomer to astronomy, this telescope is a very capable starting point. It has a multi-coated, 70mm object lens - rare at this price, capable of gathering 36% more light than the 60mm lens found in most rivals - and a focal length of 36" (900mm). The realistic (useable) magnification range is between 36 and 90 times with the eyepieces included. Its read dot finder makes initial orientation relatively simple, and the equatorial mount makes it easier to track stars is continuous motion. The adjustable tripod with accessory tray (included) and main tube are made from aluminium, not plastic.
