Meade Infinity 102mm AZ Refractor Telescope
The designed for beginner astronomers and comes with everything you will need to view the moon, planets, meteor showers, and brighter deep-sky objects clearly for the first time. This refracting telescope delivers bright and detailed images and is suitable for viewing both land and celestial objects.
This Meade telescope is set on a manual alt-azimuth mount that has an altitude lock and slow-motion controls for precise tracking of objects as they move across the night sky.
Your Meade 102mm telescope is equipped with three eyepieces that provide 23x, 66.5x, and 95x magnifications with a 2x Barlow lens that doubles the magnification of each eyepiece for a wider-range of observing possibilities. All eyepieces have fold down rubber eyecups for comfortable viewing and are fully multicoated with anti reflection technology.
An adjustable-height stainless steel tripod provides a stable platform for sky-watching, and the included 90° erect-image diagonal makes looking through the scope more comfortable, especially when aiming the telescope toward the zenith.
The diagonal's prism corrects images horizontally and vertically, allowing you to use the scope for terrestrial viewing if you wish.
An integrated dew-shield helps to prevent condensation on the objective lens, while blocking stray terrestrial peripheral light from interfering with celestial observations.
