planet, intrigue you enough to study it, remind you to look up the location you heard about on the news or read about in the morning paper. In addition to its fascinating ability to float on air with electromagnetic technology, this globe ranks high for its accurate and clearly labeled representation of the world, classic design and vibrant colors. This version is particularly good for those with an eye for detail and a mind set on gathering information. Remarkably precise. This globe has underlined capitals, labels for cities, provinces, countries, islands, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, mountain ranges, deserts, glaciers, even coral reefs. Lines of Longitude, Lines of Latitude, The International Date Line, The Equator, Tropic of Cancer, ...  (less)

in both azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (polar) angle permit precise polar alignment of the telescope's fork mount for astronomical applications. Elevation angle can be fixed at any observing latitude between 20 and 90. The 90 (altazimuth) orientation is desirable for terrestrial observations or for astronomical applications of ETX-90AT and ETX-125AT models equipped with the optional Autostar Controller, where fully automatic sidereal-rate tracking can be accomplished with the telescope in the altazimuth mode. Angled (Equatorial) mounting is useful for fully automatic tracking of celestail objects in Right Ascension. Each ETX Astro Telescope model attaches to the tripod in seconds with two thumbscrews.
