ES - 152mm f/4.8 Comet Hunterâ„¢ OTA w/ Deluxe Case & Accessories

The David H. Levy Comet Hunter is a rich field telescope (RFT), capable of showing faint objects over a wide field of view
(generally two degrees or more). Explore Scientific has co-designed a Maksutov-Newtonian telescope with comet hunter and author
David Levy that can help support the Sharing the Sky Foundation through the sale of this telescope. The Comet Hunter comes
standard with a two-inch, 30mm focal length eyepiece with a wide 70° apparent field. This eyepiece combined with the short
focal length of the telescope produce an amazing 2.86° true field of view with a 6.2mm exit pupil. Each Comet Hunter special
edition telescope will come with a certificate signed by David Levy.
