Get C$67.95 in FREE Extra Telescope Accessories
with the Purchase of this Telescope!

This portable telescope is just the thing for exploring the night sky on a budget, and now, for a limited time, it comes with 3 more accessories at no extra charge.

  • Every amateur astronomer needs a good Planisphere, and this Tirion multi-latitude planisphere will serve you well! By just turning the star chart inside the water-resistant cover, you can quickly find out what constellations & bright celestial objects are up on a particular time & date.  Valued at $27, the Tirion Planisphere is yours free with the purchase of this telescope!
  • When you look at our Moon through a telescope, the sight is awe-inspiring!  It is one of the few objects in space that has features we can identify if we have the right tools.  Don't just wonder where spacecraft landings are located or what the name of that crater is, find out with this FREE Moon Map, valued at $21, and discover 24 features on the lunar surface that you can identify with a telescope.
  • Finally, you'll receive a Free Moon Filter, valued at $19.95. It is the most popular telescope accessory around, and for good reason. Thread this filter onto the metal barrel of any 1.25" eyepiece and you'll cut the overwhelming brightness that can occur when viewing the Moon, Venus, or any object that is bright enough to cause glare that makes it hard to discern details.

PS: This filter is NOT SAFE to use on the Sun; don't even think about it! If you want to view the Sun with your telescope, talk to Khanscope and we will help you get a proper, safe solar filter that fits your scope correctly.

These are items you would most likely buy over time anyway, so why not get them for FREE? Limited to stock on hand, so place your order now!
