The telescope features a 127mm aperture and a focal length of 1500mm, allowing for detailed views of planets, the Moon, and other celestial objects. It utilizes a Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design, which combines a spherical primary mirror and a meniscus corrector lens to deliver sharp and clear images with minimal color distortion.

The mount features a database of over 4,000 celestial objects and has various alignment modes to make setup and alignment easier and more accurate. The telescope also comes with a hand controller that allows users to easily select and navigate to celestial objects.

The telescope features Celestron's StarBright XLT optical coating system, which enhances light transmission and improves image contrast for clear and bright views. The single-fork arm mount provides smooth and precise tracking, making it ideal for both visual observations and astrophotography.
