The Virtuoso is the very definition of portability and get-up-and-go observing for both night time and solar observing. This tabletop battery operated telescope comes with everything you need for solar observing. The slip-on solar filter produces a white light image, allowing you to see the sun's surface and any sunspot activity. It will also let you safely watch the eclipse from start to end.

Staying mobile for the eclipse can help increase your chances of dodging any clouds or weather that are not cooperating. This scope can be setup and ready to view even on the roof or hood of your car in a matter of seconds. For quick observing you can use the motorized mount to slew to the sun or night time target as needed. This 'scope also can be leveled and aligned to track objects with just a little more setup time, and with the included encoders, can keep alignment even after you move the mount by hand.

This really is the epitome of quick setup and ease of use!
