FLO Says:
An easy to use low maintenance beginner telescope. The compact size also makes it an excellent choice for taking on holiday.
The included eyepieces are noticeably better than those supplied with other tabletop Dobsonians so you can expect good views from the outset.
Requires a sturdy garden table to stand on.

The following optional accessories will enhance your enjoyment of this telescope:
A 2x Astro Essentials barlow increases magnification of the included eyepieces. When used with the 10mm eyepiece, magnification increases to 128x. With the 26mm eyepiece, magnification is 50x.
