With views of the lunar surface, Jupiter's Galilean moons, Saturn's rings, and bright star clusters, kids can get a real feel for how vast and extraordinary the universe is. The kit also includes a 25x eyepiece and a custom accessory that can be assembled as a 2x Barlow lens for a power of 50x or a 17x Galilean eyepiece with a right-side-up field of view less than 1/2° wide so the user can experience the views Galileo had of the expansive night sky.
