Kowa TSN-501 telescope + 20-40x zoom + tripod with video head

An affordable and high-quality option for your first telescope!

This set includes a Kowa TSN-501 body, a Kowa 20-40x zoom eyepiece, and a Velbo tripod with video head. The eyepiece is permanently attached to the telescope and cannot be replaced.

The Kowa TSN-501 telescope is a lighter and more affordable version of the Kowa TSN-553 Prominar telescope in terms of features. The front lens of the TSN-501 telescope is slightly smaller than its big brother, and the front lens is not made of fluorite crystal. The optical accuracy is not as good as the TSN-553, but it is still a very high-quality telescope in its price range. This is an excellent option for a first telescope

Kowa's goal has been to develop a compact telescope that, despite its small size, would compete with the best on the market. Kowa has now succeeded in this goal with the launch of its compact and lightweight TSN-501 telescope. Weighing only 400 grams, the telescope has a focusing distance of only 2.5 meters, making it suitable for observing small and close objects, such as butterflies.

The telescope is nitrogen-filled (IPX6), making it waterproof and preventing moisture from condensing between the lenses. The front lens coating repels dirt, grease and water, making the lens easy to keep clean.
