Refractor Telescope Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 20277

This refractor is equipped, thanks to the combination of two lenses, with an achromatic objective that corrects most chromatic aberrations. It suppresses annoying chromatic lines, and the telescope delivers clear, contrast-rich images. With a 90mm objective aperture, the telescope offers an almost unbelievable variety of detail, when you observe planets such as Jupiter, Mars or Saturn. It is an impressive experience to see for the first time the rings of Saturn or the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. But also the brightest deep sky objects you can discover with this telescope. The Ring Nebula in the constellation Lyra, the Orion Nebula and bright open star clusters, for example, will give you hours of interesting observation. It is worth noting that this telescope has a light potential 165 times larger than the human eye (under 7mm EP).

The 90/1000mm refractor offers many applications, it can also allow you to take your first steps in the field of astrophotography. Connect your camera to the telescope (via an adapter that we offer as an optional accessory). The lunar surface offers a variety of possibilities to take your first pictures.

The mount EQ-2:

This equatorial mount offers the possibility of alignment with the North Star. It can be aligned by varying the inclination of the polar axis according to the latitude at which it is located. By fine movement of the right ascension and declination axes it is possible to smoothly target and track astronomical objects. A counterweight ensures the correct balance of the optical system. This mount ensures a secure and low-vibration support for small telescopes. The aluminum tripod can be adjusted and positioned with a height between 70cm and 120 cm while the accessory tray can hold eyepieces or other accessories. The EQ-2 mount, the second smallest, is extremely lightweight and compact, fitting in almost any travel bag. Novice users can mount it without any problems, even children are able to use it. As an option we offer a tracking motor for mounting on the straight ascent axis.

The following material is included:

• EQ-2 equatorial mount
• Sturdy aluminum tripod (adjustable from 70cm to 120cm)
• Accessory holder
• Adapted counterweight
