Sold as is! Everything you see in the pictures is what is included. Pictures are the best description, as I'm not a telescope expert. It was purchased in early 2000 by my great uncle and was inherited to me around 2005.  It's only been used a couple of times since I've owned it and it's been kept stored in a dry & clean area for years. It's in great condition and works!  Takes 8 x AA batteries - Not included with telescope package! No case or booklet provided.
