Features
- Includes a dedicated solar filter for safe solar observing when properly installed (for viewing sunspots, solar disc, etc.).
- Fast, wide-field optics (short focal length): good for large sky areas and easy target finding.
- Manual Alt-Azimuth mount: simple up/down/left/right movement for learning the sky.
- Smartphone holder/adapter (in most Solarix kits): lets you take photos through the eyepiece.
- Beginner-friendly bundle: typically includes eyepieces and a Barlow lens to reach multiple magnifications.
- Note for daytime land viewing: Newtonian reflectors show an inverted image, so it’s not ideal as a spotting scope.
