Finding objects with the StarScope 707:
The Starscope 707 comes complete with an altazimuth mount with adjustable height aluminum tripod. Assembly is easily done in a couple of minutes. Once assembled, it takes just a few seconds to set up the telescope ready for observing.

The telescope can be pointed at any point on earth and in the sky by intuitive movement from left to right and up and down. The telescope even has a slow motion control for altitude movement. You will see: It is very easy!

Finding the object you want to see is done with the help of a star map, for example the excellent Deep Sky Reiseatlas or a planisphere. The object is first focused in the small finderscope and then viewed in the main telescope.
