With a 1050mm focal length and f/7 focal ratio, this refractor offers an excellent balance of reach, sharpness, and imaging flexibility. The 3.4-inch linear rail rack-and-pinion focuser provides smooth, stable, dual-speed focusing with an 11:1 micro-focus ratio for precision adjustments. A built-in Camera Angle Adjuster and rotatable focuser make it easy to frame your target without disrupting your setup. The retractable dew shield helps reduce stray light and moisture while keeping the optical tube more compact for storage and transport. Finished in Sky-Watcher’s sleek glossy white aluminum optical tube, this telescope looks as refined as the images it produces. Includes premium mounting and imaging accessories, making it ready for advanced setups right out of the case.
