Description: | Price is for a 2" helical focuser and includes a 10mm and a 25mm Plossl eyepieces. The finder is your choice of a Telrad or a 7X50mm Chinese spotter scope. I was able to get mine with no eyepieces and no finder and get a lower price. The mirror cell is open for ventilation and the tube has adjustable side bearings to make balancing very easy. Discovery also e-mail access and toll-free customer service. The f/4.1 is no longer available, instead a longer f/5 has replaced it.
