saxon Telescope Back Pack
Designs will not crack or peel, are able to stretch freely, and will not fade or discolour.
It has been lovely when viewing terrestrial objects of interest. However, when attempting to view extraterrestrial objects of interest, the power of the telescope leaves a lot of be desired. I was partially aware of this fact, but took the risk anyway. I hope that anyone else after a clear view of the moon and stars will seek something a little more powerfully, despite the increased cost.
Once we got the finder set up on the side it was pretty sorted.
We have enjoyed how compact this is we move it about easily and pop out the way when not in use.
Great for taking tramping, both the telescope and tripod are extra light. Obviously not the most powerful telescope, but perfect if you want to take on a night trek. The tripod is surprisingly stable for its weight. Looking forward to viewing the lunar eclipse later on tonight! Would recommend.
