The main housing is constructed from high-grade aluminum with a black anodized finish, featuring a molded rubber grip ring for secure handling.
Its 1.25 inch mounting barrel is internally threaded to accept standard 1.25 inch filters and adapters, making it compatible with 1.25 inch star diagonals and focusers. With a comfortable 16mm eye relief and rubber eyecups, it's suitable for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers.
