These wide-field short-tube telescopes are also highly portable. They also are popular for use as guide scopes on larger telescopes. All models excel as fixed aperture lenses for both Astrophotography & terrestrial photography. Their “fast" focal ratios make them useful for capturing lunar & solar eclipses as well as nature photographs. Tube
