- Features
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Catadioptric (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Electronic Red-Dot Projection Viewfinder: true (Locate astronomical objects more easily by using the electronic red-dot viewfinder, which shows unmagnified upright images. Wherever the telescope is pointed, a red dot or other symbol appears on the projection screen to help the user locate and focus on targets.)
- Indicator Light(s): true
- Mount Type: Computerized alt-azimuth
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Imaging
- Magnification: 200 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Length: 1250 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Motor Drive System: Dual-axis (There are two main types of motorized drive systems for telescopes: single-axis, which consists of a single motor/driver attached to the right-ascension axis of the mount, and dual-axis, which consists of two motors and a driver attached to both axes of the mount. Single-axis systems are typically sufficient for casual observing, while dual-axis systems provide more control for advanced use.)
- Telescope Class: Maksutov-Cassegrain catadioptrics
- Assembly Required: Partial
