Discovery Sky T76 telescope with book
The Discovery Sky T76 telescope is an entry-level Newtonian reflector that comes with everything you need for observing. It will be a wonderful gift for a person who is just beginning to be interested in astronomy: the controls can be mastered in just a couple of minutes, there is no need to buy anything additional. Also included is an educational book about space, which talks about complex things in an accessible and visual way. Discovery Sky T76 is a telescope that clearly shows both the Moon and planets of the solar system with satellites, as well as meteor showers, comets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters. Multifocal eyepieces and a Barlow lens allow the use of different magnifications when studying space, which significantly expands the observational experience of a novice astronomer. To search for objects in the sky, a classic optical finder is used. The optical tube is mounted on an azimuth mount. To improve the accuracy and smoothness of control, it is equipped with a vertical axis microscrew. Pointing to objects is simple and does not require special knowledge and skills. The tripod is made of aluminum, its height can be adjusted. There is space in the center to install an accessory tray. Book of knowledge “Space. The Non-Empty Void, which is included in the package, is a useful teaching aid that introduces the structure of the telescope and popular astronomical objects. Its pages contain interesting facts and colorful illustrations. The book is intended for a wide range of readers and will provide great assistance in mastering the basics of astronomy.
