Internal corrective lenses reduce off-axis coma and field curvature so stars remain sharper towards the edge of a suitable camera sensor.

Its integrated LiFePO4 battery supports observing sessions of up to 10 hours, while manual clutches, carrying handles, four AUX ports, an illuminated accessory tray and a mobile-device USB charging output improve practical use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe battery can be charged or the telescope operated from the supplied AC adapter.

An optional dedicated 0.7× reducer changes the system to f\/7 while retaining EdgeHD correction. Removing the Fastar secondary and fitting a compatible optional HyperStar lens enables very fast wide-field imaging around f\/2. Long-exposure work normally benefits from the optional equatorial wedge and a suitable imaging setup; cameras, adapters, reducer, HyperStar lens and wedge are not included.\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 complete kit weighs 19.05kg, divided between the 6.35kg optical tube, 7kg mount head and 5.44kg tripod.
