This Maksutov design telescope has an aperture of 100 mm (4\") and an f\/number of f\/14, for a focal length of 1400 mm. It is a white colored tube Mak-Cass scope with a primary mirror of 100 mm aperture. Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are noted for their higher f\/numbers, and high contrast, sharp images. They are often favored by amateur astronomers who plan to do a lot of planetary and lunar observing, (i.e. well-resolved objects) because of their larger images at their focal plane and their high contrast performance. It comes with a 25 mm Plossl eyepiece, a Red Dot Finder, and a Smartphone Adapter. Includes a Twilight Nano Alt-Az Mount and tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Explore Scientific TwiLight Nano Mount is a handy, easy to use manually controlled Altitude-Azimuth mount for lighter telescopes. It is manually operated, thus has no electronics or motors. It has a knob which is used to move the telescope in the vertical (Altitude) direction, and a pan-handle which is used to move the telescope in the horizontal (Azimuth) direction. You point to - and track night sky objects with your hand using these controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope is a good scope for those who might be just getting started in the astronomy hobby. It has an aperture which is large enough to provide views of some deep sky objects, as well as the planets, and the Moon. It includes a smartphone adapter to help you use your smart device to capture and share images. This Mak telescope weighs only 4 pounds (not including mount and tripod).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes a Limited One year Warranty from Explore Scientific, after your registration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFL-MC1001400TN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTelescope Design:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaksutov-Cassegrain Telescope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200X\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1400 mm focal length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Ratio:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ef\/14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpherical Primary Mirror Aperture:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mm (4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 cm (12.6\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEyepiece (Included):\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm Plössl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwiLight Nano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Control:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComes With:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmartphone Adapter, One 25 mm Plössl Eyepiece, Red Dot Finder, Downloadable Software\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31992569233521,"sku":"EXP-FL-MC1001400TN","price":198.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2766\/products\/FL-MC1001400TN.jpg?v=1622514294","url":"https:\/\/khanscope.com\/en-fr\/products\/explore-scientific-firstlight-100-mm-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope-on-twilight-nano-alt-az-mount-fl-mc1001400tn","provider":"Khan Scope Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
