The StarPro™ AZ series of telescopes come
in several sizes (apertures) of optical tubes.
The heart of the optical tubes is the front
lens. It collects and focuses the incoming
light from distant objects.
The lens diameter is one of the most important
pieces of information about the telescope.
The size of the objective lens determines
how much detail you will be able to see in
your telescope.
Each optical tube also has a focal length
which is the distance the light travels inside
the optical tube before it comes to focus.
The focal length information
important and will help later on to calculate
magnification.
