It features High Quality Parabolic Primary Mirrors to eliminate spherical aberrations inherent in 'fast' focal length reflectors with spherical primary mirrors. The mirrors are parabolized to bring all the light rays to the same focal point to give sharp, constrasty images, which are full of detail. This Sky-Watcher reflector is multi-coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance. It is provided with the 9x50 finder scope that is designed for accurate and fast object positioning.
