The telescope usually comes with a stable mount and tripod:

1. Mount Type: Equatorial/EXOS-1/EQ4 (German type).

   • Advantage: Allows tracking of celestial objects with a single movement (in Right Ascension - RA), which is essential for high magnifications and astrophotography (with optional motor).

   • Load Capacity: Designed to support up to approximately 7 kg, providing great stability for the 2.8 kg optical tube.

2. Tripod: Stable tripod made of stainless steel, adjustable height (with accessory tray), to minimize vibrations.

3. Counterweight: Includes a counterweight (e.g., 4.5 kg) to balance the optical tube.

• Moon and Planets: Provides detailed viewing of the craters of the Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. However, the short focal length ($f/4.5$) means that the magnification will be lower than telescopes with a longer focal ratio, so it is better suited for a wide planetary field.
  

• Deep Sky Objects: Excellent for nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. Thanks to the fast focal ratio, it gathers plenty of light over a wide field, making bright objects such as the Orion Nebula (M42) or the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) visible.

• Solar Observation: NEW: Now comes with a high-quality Aperture Solar Filter, allowing safe observation of sunspots and planetary transits.

The standard package includes:

• Optical Tube (OTA) Messier AR-102xs/460.

• Equatorial Mount EXOS-1/EQ4.

• Stainless Steel Tripod.

• Counterweight.

• Eyepiece Super Plössl 26mm ($1.25" / 31.7 mm$).

• Diagonal Mirror Zenith Mirror ($1.25" / 31.7 mm$).

• Finderscope 6x30 with crosshair.

• Solar Filter (for safe observation of the Sun).

• Planetarium Software Stellarium and Moon map.
