This telescope also has number of features that in given combination are rarely found in one scope:

— Compact, lightweight tube assembly with retractable baffle and shell type ring with handle for GG action (“grab and go”).
— Case for telescope has “carry-on” dimensions for most airlines (Since these dimensions could change, please double check weight/dimensional limitation prior to your flight).
— Telescope objective being “oiled triplet” by design transmits more light than any other objective in it’s class, thanks for using CaF2 as a middle lens and modern BBAR coatings on outher surfaces.
— Precision rotatable focuser with coarse and fine focusing with 2” collet type eyepiece holder made of aluminum. TEC design collet is insensitive to temperature and holds the load most efficiently and in a precise way (eyepiece or camera axis are concentric by definition).
