The EduSnap Astro 53 Pro Smart Telescope from Spectrum Optics captures beautiful photos of galaxies, nebulae, and planets without the complex equipment and procedures of traditional astrophotography.
This 53mm f/5 refractor automatically finds and photographs celestial objects of your choosing, showing the image on your phone or tablet. Flip a switch on the side and you can look at your subject through the lens with your own eyes.
For photography, the Astro 53 Pro offers tracking and image-stacking for clear, full-color images of celestial objects. Included are the scope's computer-driven motorized alt-azimuth mount, a rechargeable power bank, and a full-sized aluminum tripod.
