• Photo-style alt-azimuth mount & tripod allows easy adjust and aiming of the telescope while offering great stability. This telescope can even point straight overhead, without interference
• A 20mm (1.25") eyepiece offers 18x magnification for a good image scale, while offering a wide field of view to make it easier to track the Sun's apparent motion
• Includes lightweight and convenient backpack holds and protects your solar scope, tripod and all of the accessories, making it easy to carry to remote observing sites
