This is an entry level telescope, or an ideal small telescope to take on holiday or camping. It’s very a compact refractor telescope, weighing just 4.8lbs, and comes complete with a table top tripod, and carry case, making it easy to pack away, and store. The reason that this is such a popular product is that despite its’ lightweight plastic body, this is actually a fairly sturdy telescope for the money, and you get enough accessories with it to start looking at the sky in minutes.
