Newton Telescope Omegon 76/700 AZ-1

The OMEGON N76/700 AZ-1 telescope is ideal for beginners in amateur astronomy. It is a fantastic gift for both children and adults with an excellent quality/price ratio.

The instrument can be assembled quickly, simply and without tools, living up to its motto: align, place the eyepiece and observe!

The N 76/700optical system:

The range of reflector telescopes for beginners starts with an aperture of 76mm. The Jupiter system with its four large Galilean satellites or Saturn's ring can be observed as well as countless lunar craters. The observer can even take space "excursions" to the Andromeda galaxy or the Orion nebula or other astronomical objects. Enter the world of the stars and enjoy completely different experiences.
With its 76mm objective diameter, the telescope has a potential 118 times larger than the human eye. The spherical mirror has a focal length of 700mm, the combination of mirror diameter and focal length provides high quality observations. The telescope comes with a 1.25" eyepiece holder that can be used with all modern 1.25" eyepieces. The fine adjustment of the eyepiece easily gives the optimum sharpness for observing the desired astronomical object.

Features:

• Compact reflector telescope
