Imaging cameras, adapters, wedge and CPC tripod are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThis telescope is not a fully automated smart-imaging system: a compatible camera and all required imaging adapters must be selected separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eTransport and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe optical tube, mount head and tripod separate for transport.
