This telescope is a real telescope in the Maksutov style to especially focus on the moon and planets. Aperture: 60mm, Focal length: 750mm, and Eyepiece diameter: 20mm/Magnification 37.5X. It is ideal for homeschoolers and families because the lid comes off to show how telescopes work. Good optics, Dobsonian table mount, and 20mm lens are included. In day time I live in Saratoga Springs and can see things like the Mt. Timpanogos Temple very clearly across the valley.
