Questions & Answers

Shopper : What does the aperture size mean? I assume 4.5" is better telescope than a 3.2". Is that correct?ANDREW R : Generally speaking the aperture of a telescope refers to the main light gathering lens (on a refracting telescope) or mirror (on a reflector telescope). The larger the size, the more light gathering ability a scope has.
Shopper : this model have electronic eyepiece?GARY P : No. but we saw Saturn in it last night and it was awesome!BRIAN R : No
