Celestron Ambassador Executive 15-45x50 Tabletop Refractor Telescope

Description

Harkening back to the days when sailing ships ruled the waves, Celestron 's Ambassador Executive 15-45x50 Tabletop Refractor Telescope is designed with vintage nautical styling, and modern glass and coatings to make it as elegant as it is useful. Built with a combination of polished brass and mahogany accenting the optical tube and mount, this telescope is an ideal accent to any room and a certain conversation-starter, that is also extremely functional.

The telescope is equipped with a fixed 15-45x zoom eyepiece, anti-reflection fully coated optics, and an integrated erecting prism to allow its use for both celestial and terrestrial observations. A manual alt-az mount is simple to use and makes finding and tracking objects easy. A helical focuser gives the scope a streamlined look by replacing focusing knobs and bulky focusing mechanisms with a simple twist collar located forward of the eyepiece. The beautiful mahogany tabletop pier provides a solid and stable platform for observations.
