The 15-45x50 Anchormaster Spyscope Telescope from Barska, besides being in itself an exquisite masterpiece of visual art, is an excellent and useful refractor telescope. The 15-45x zoom magnification allows scanning the celestial area of choice and then zooming into the object of interest for more precise detailed observation. The®mahogany floor tripod has fully extendable legs and is ornamented with functional thumb screw leg locks. An attached arc-mount is made of brass and allows full alt-azimuth movement. This is a precision-made, high quality brass optical product that makes a stunning addition to any decor. It is as functional as it is beautiful to look at. It is nothing more than classical elegance and traditional sophistication.
