Its manual alt-azimuth mount has an altitude lock and slow-motion controls for precise tracking of subjects. This refractor telescope comes with 2 eyepieces that provide 27x and 78x magnifications with a 2x Barlow lens that doubles the magnification of each eyepiece for a wider-range of observing possibilities. An adjustable-height stainless steel tripod provides a stable platform for sky-watching, and the included 90 degree erect-image diagonal makes looking through the scope more comfortable, especially when aiming the telescope toward the zenith.
