This Sky-Watcher 120mm (4") f/5 telescope is a two-element, air-spaced, fully multi-coated objective, achromatic refractor, which can give exciting "rich field" astronomical views. It can provide excellent views of star fields, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets and the Moon. It is also a fine terrestrial telescope when mounted on an alt-azimuth mount or a photographic tripod. Crisp images at a reasonable price make it an excellent beginner's "first telescope", or a great travelling telescope for a more advanced observer.
This larger aperture model has more light collecting power at the same focal ratio and accepts 2" diagonals for awesome wide field views, with only a small amount of chromatic aberration.
