Focal Length

It is the distance that light rays need to travel to reach the focal point, that is, the sensor of the lens.

The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view for the photograph, and therefore, the more of what is in front of us the lens can capture.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    In the instructions, it does not say that you need to adjust the diopter during the day in order for it to work at night, and most importantly, the tripod is small and not convenient at all. Get a telescope with a regular-sized tripod.
