Finding Objects with the Antares 107:
The Antares 107 comes complete with an alt-azimuth mount with an adjustable height aluminum tripod.  Assembly is easily done within a couple of minutes.  Once assembled it takes only a few seconds to set the telescope up ready for observing.

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

Finding the object you wish to see is done with the help of a star chart or a planisphere. The object is first centered in the little finderscope and then viewed in the main telescope.
