Soligor, Short Tube Catadioptric Telescope D 76MM F 600mm - Made in Japan

The Soligor Short Tube Catadioptric Telescope D 76mm F 600mm is a compact, lightweight telescope designed for general-purpose stargazing. Here's a breakdown of its specifications:

• Aperture (D): 76 mm – The diameter of the telescope’s primary optical element (in this case, a mirror), which determines how much light it can gather. A larger aperture allows the telescope to see fainter objects.

• Focal Length (F): 600 mm – The distance over which the light is focused. This affects the magnification and field of view.

• Catadioptric Design: This design combines mirrors and lenses, allowing for a more compact tube while still offering long focal lengths and sharp views, making it good for both planetary and deep-sky observations.

• Short Tube: Refers to its compact physical design, making it portable and easy to use, especially for beginners or for traveling.

This combination of aperture and focal length makes it a decent entry-level or intermediate telescope, offering a good balance between size, power, and portability.
