Large-field refractor with solar filter for mobile observers

Due to its short 460mm focal length, this refractor from the Polaris series is a compact but powerful telescope, which is perfect as a travel telescope - but also allows impressive wide-field observation of star clusters or the Milky Way. The attachable solar filter for daytime observing is a new addition. Together with the stable EQ-3 mount and the aluminium tripod, the set is quickly assembled and dismantled, and fits in the boot of any car.
