Important
This is a night-sky telescope. Never view or point it at the Sun without a certified full-aperture solar filter; the finder must also be covered or removed. Use a firm, level surface because the optical tube, mount, and stainless-steel tripod are sensitive to vibration. The mount can run on eight AA batteries or 12V DC, so verify the power source, center-positive connector, and local adapter before travel. Japan lists a two-year warranty with one year for electronic parts; the United States lists a two-year warranty. Confirm regional warranty support, tax, shipping, voltage, and traveller landed cost before purchase.Image: Celestron United States
