One look at the robust optical tube assembly and rigidly constructed mounting system communicates Skywatcher delivers serious performance. Skywatcher's many unique design touches are quite impressive. With the acquisition of this superb telescope' an observer enters the realm of high resolution study of astronomical phenomenon. Scan the Moon's surface along the lunar terminator during the Moon's first quarter phase and be prepared for a spacewalk-like experience. Rich' razor-sharp surface detail is so abundant that the Moon alone offers the potential for many years of rewarding study. Planets will reveal a treasure-trove of interesting surface phenomenon. The resolution discerned in Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud belts is presented just like you would expect in a quality large aperture telescope. In the summertime sky' the gaseous' glowing Lagoon Nebula' fire red in astrophotographs' and the smaller Trifid Nebula' beautiful blue and light-red in astrophotographs' are examples of prominent emission nebula reveali
