The Zhumell Perigee 100 is one of the most versatile introductory telescopes available. Its Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system is excellent for both viewing and astrophotography and its high-grade primary mirror combined with premium correcting lens provides high-contrast low-aberration images of both planetary and deep-sky objects. A precise German equatorial mount enables anyone to find and track stars. Just use the built-in R.

A. and Dec. scales for location and the included motor drive to make tracking both automatic and accurate. Portable and powerful the Perigee also allows beginning and intermediate astronomers to try astrophotography with the included Universal T-Adapter. And if that's not enough the optical tube can be removed from the equatorial mount and remounted on a photographic tripod for use as a spotting scope. Now that's versatility!

A great combination of features for anyone looking to start or add to their telescope collection the Perigee is an excellent performer at an excellent price!
