However its important to point out that the degree of magnification achievable does not only depend on your telescope. The air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions) also influences the maximum magnification you can achieve on any given night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 102mm \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length: 460mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal ratio: F\/4.5\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuser: 50.8mm (2 inch) focuser with adapter to 31.7mm (1.25 inch)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes two eyepieces and one Barlow lens with 31.7mm (1.25 inch) for different magnifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe solar observation with the included solar filter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntry into astrophotography with smartphone camera adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eRefractor telescope\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eEquatorial EQ3 mount\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eEyepieces: 4mm and 20mm (1.25 inch)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBarlow lens 3x (1.25 inch)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStar diagonal mirror\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLED illuminated dot finder\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSolar filter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSmartphone camera adapter\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAccessory tray\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAstronomy software download\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSAFETY NOTICE:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNever look directly at the Sun through your Binoculars or Telescope - immediate and permanent eye damage may result.
