It also includes a 99% reflective 2" diagonal.

This advanced telescope is not just about performance, it's also about convenience. With a lightweight carbon fiber body, it's the perfect grab-and-go instrument for spontaneous stargazing sessions. Please note that the case and finder scope are not included with this telescope.
