Outfitted with a 1.25″ rack-and-pinion focuser, it will accept the most popular-sized eyepieces and accessories in addition to the two eyepieces, diagonal, and Barlow lens that comes with it.The 90° diagonal corrects the image horizontally and vertically to use the scope as a spotter on the land and puts the user’s head in a more comfortable position, especially when the scope is aimed high in the sky.

An adjustable height aluminum tripod provides a stable platform for any observations.Optical Tube
