Usage tips
Set the aluminium alloy tripod on level ground and aim roughly using the 5x24 finder scope, which has a crosshair to speed target acquisition. Start with the 20mm eyepiece for a wider 20x view, then switch to the 12.5mm eyepiece to reach about 32x magnification for closer detail. A gentle tweak of the azimuth and altitude knobs is usually enough to track slow-moving targets without fuss. A note to consider, magnification is limited by the supplied eyepieces so expect modest planetary detail under average skies.
What’s included
The kit comes with the telescope tube, an adjustable aluminium tripod, two eyepieces, a 5x24 finder scope and a phone adapter for basic astrophotography and sharing images with a mobile. No extra tools are required for setup, which keeps initial use simple for newcomers.
Who it suits
It’s a good fit if you want an affordable, portable starter telescope for family use or travel observations. You’ll like it if you value ease of setup and a compact package that still lets you explore the night sky and landscapes.
