FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to collimate the telescope?No - refractors don't need collimation.
Can I use this telescope to look at objects on the earth, or just space?
Yes, but a 45 degree "correct image" diagonal is not supplied with this package - grab the full version as it comes with a prism diagonal.
