2.1.
The telescope is compatible with 1.25”
accessories. For visual use we recommend
using a 1.25”diagonal/prism and an eyepiece
(not included).
It is also helpful to use a finderscope. We
recommend a red-dot finderscope (not
included) as they are simple and easy to use.
To find out about different magnifications just
divide the telescope’s focal length by the
eyepiece’s focal length. A 25mm eyepiece will
provide a magnification of 16x (400mm
divided by 25mm= 16x);
2.2.
The tripod base (#14 – Figure 1) has 3 ¼”-
20 threaded female nuts. These are
compatible with standard tripod fittings. This
means you can use the telescope with a
photographic tripod, which is especially
interesting for terrestrial view (bird-watching
or long distance terrestrial observation).
2.3.
The camera thread ¼”-20 (#3 – Figure 1)
allows you to use a piggy-backed camera
(DSLR or compact). Piggy-back
astrophotography is a very simple and
effective way to make spectacular wide-field
photography.
