Questions about this item

What does 50x magnification with a 25 mm Plossl eyepiece actually deliver in the field?

It gives a 1° apparent field of view and 22 mm eye relief, so you see a wide, comfortable image at high power for extended sessions.

How does the 1250 mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain system limit photographic use?

The fixed f/10 focal ratio means longer exposures are needed compared with faster optics, but the 1250 mm focal length provides high magnification for detailed planetary and terrestrial shots.

What mounting hardware is required to attach this scope to a standard photo tripod?

The included photo tripod adapter fits the scope directly to any tripod with a standard 1/4-20 thread, adding no extra length or weight.
