Description
- SOLAR OBSERVING TELESCOPE KIT: A telescope kit with everything you need to observe the solar eclipse: 102mm refractor telescope with fully coated glass optics, full height tripod, plus lots more
- SOLAR SAFE TELESCOPE FILTER: Filter conforms to the ISO 12312-2:2015(E) international safety standard for filters directly viewing the Sun. The ideal tool for viewing eclipses, sunspots, or the Sun any day!
- STURDY MOUNT: Manual altazimuth mount with smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece.
- SAFE, SNUG FIT: Three safety screws keep your filter securely attached to your telescope’s objective. A safety cap protects the outer surface of the filter when not in use.
- SOLAR FILM MADE IN THE USA: Our Solar Safe film is produced in the USA by American Paper Optics, one of the suppliers recommended by NASA for safe solar viewing.
- GET ECLIPSE READY: Includes 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, StarSense smartphone dock, erect image diagonal, a red dot finderscope (in case you want to use the telescope without your phone), an EclipSmart solar filter, and a sturdy, full-height tripod.
