Yes, by default, this telescope has a 1.25’’ eyepiece adapter so it will 
work with all the 1.25’’ accessories. 

Will this telescope work with my 1.25’’ eyepieces?

The red dot viewfinder is a zero magnification pointing tool that uses 
a coated glass window to superimpose the image of a small red dot 
onto the night sky. To use the finder, simply look through the sight tube 
and move your telescope until the red dot merges with the object. 
Make sure to keep both eyes open when sighting

What is a red dot viewfinder?

?

The main difference between refractor and reflector telescope is that 
the  refractor  uses  optical  lenses,  and  the  reflector  telescope  uses 
mirrors. The difference is also in the maintenance required between 
those two. The refractor telescope requires less maintenance than a 
reflector telescope. Refractor telescopes usually have smaller apertures 
and are more expensive than reflector telescopes.

Refractor vs. Reflector Telescope – What Is The Difference?

?

Collimation is the process of aligning all the elements of an optical 
system.  Collimation  is  routinely  needed  in  reflectors,  but  seldom  in 
refractors.

What is collimation?

Similar to Latitude on the Earth's surface, it is the distance in degrees 
North or South of the Celestial Equator (the projection of the Earth's 
Equator onto the Celestial Sphere). The degrees can be sub-divided 
into minutes and seconds.

What is declination?
