More about the product

Features an Ohara ED doublet objective that includes an S-FPL53 ED glass element.
242 mm focal length results in a fast f/4.8 focal ratio.
Precise non-rotating helical focuser for fine focus adjustment.
It has a T2 thread and a 1.25” socket, so connecting your autoguider, camera, or eyepiece is easy.
Alignment rings are provided, each with three nylon-tipped screws.

The bracket's finderscope mounting foot is a regular Sky-Watcher / Celestron / Vixen-style mini dovetail, so it fits into most finderscope shoes. The Vixen-style 45 dovetail bar features a 1/4-20 thread for tripod mounting.
