The telescope comes with two Kellner eyepieces: a 20mm and a 10mm. The 20mm eyepiece provides a lower magnification and a wider field of view, ideal for locating objects. The 10mm eyepiece offers higher magnification for more detailed observations once an object is centered.

To achieve a clear image, use the focus knobs located on the focuser. The integrated focus micrometer is a numbered scale that indicates the focuser’s position. This allows for quick return to a specific focus point for particular targets, such as a bird's nest during terrestrial viewing or infinity focus for celestial objects.

Finder Dopin

The large projected reticle finder scope assists in quickly locating objects in the night sky. Align the finder scope with the main telescope during daylight hours by pointing the telescope at a distant, stationary object and adjusting the finder scope until the object is centered in its reticle.

Integrated Smartphone Adapter

The lens cap features a built-in smartphone adapter for basic astrophotography. To use it:

1. Place your smartphone against the rubberized friction surface on the outside of the lens cap, ensuring your camera lens aligns with the imaging port.
2. Secure the smartphone using the two adjustable bungee cords.
3. The inside of the lens cap has a fitting that secures to your eyepiece using two set screws.
4. Once attached to the eyepiece, you can capture images through the telescope with your smartphone.

Built-in Red LED Flashlight

The mount head includes a red LED flashlight. This flashlight provides a soft red glow to illuminate your accessory tray, preserving your night vision. It can also be removed from the mount for use as a portable red light source.
