To boost your view of the skies
You have surely looked at the stars on a balmy summer evening. But did you know that there are hundreds of objects hidden between the stars, that are waiting for you to discover? The parabolic mirror collects so much light that you will distinguish even weak objects in the eyepiece.
What can you see in the sky?
- Lunar craters: thousands of lunar craters, peaks and valleys: the Moon is full of things for you to see.
- Planets: Mercury, Jupiter or Saturn. The planets of the solar system are on our doorstep astronomically-speaking, and you will discover many details, such as the rings of Saturn.
- Globular star clusters: the oldest objects in our galaxy present themselves as balls of fog that dissipate only at their edges. They accommodate up to a million stars.
- Open star clusters: they sparkle like diamonds against the black night sky.
- Nebulae: brighter hydrogen nebulae and planetary nebulae.
A target in the eyepiece: but without fumbling and wobbling
Gazing at the starry sky is lovely. But exploring it yourself is even better. The Omegon mount conveniently guides your telescope to your chosen celestial object – via the app or the hand controller. This allows you to start exploring the starry sky straight away, from Saturn to distant nebulae. You can rely completely on your mount. GoTo control, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a toothed belt reduction system and a sturdy steel tripod are all included. What’s behind it?

A stable base for every observation
The best telescope is only as good as the mount behind it. It forms the basis of your entire setup. It determines just how stable your equipment really is. The mount can support up to 8 kilograms, making it ideal for small and medium-sized telescopes. Whether you’re conducting Moon observations, tracking planets or taking your first deep-sky photographs. Today you’re looking through the eyepiece. Tomorrow you’ll be embarking on your first astrophotography project.
Find the objects without a long search
Finding a celestial object takes time – especially if you’re not particularly experienced. What’s more, many objects are faint or aren’t located near brighter stars. But with the GoTo control system, this mount takes a lot of the work off your hands. Simply select your chosen object via the hand controller or the app, and the mount will move to the target. That way, you spend less time searching and more time on observation.
The astronomer’s style: simple or high-tech
Tonight, you just want to observe the Moon. On other nights, you’re drawn out to deep-sky objects: perhaps the Orion Nebula or galaxies. And then there’s astrophotography, of course. This mount makes both possible: relaxing nights of observation and a gateway into astrophotography. With its toothed belt reduction system, it ensures precise tracking. What’s more, the mount can be controlled not only via the hand controller, but also via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth using software such as ASIAIR, SkySafari, N.I.N.A. or PHD. You’re free to choose how you work, and the mount adapts accordingly.
One decision, but many years of enjoyment
Ask ten experienced amateur astronomers where you shouldn’t skimp. Nine of them would reply: the mount. Because it determines whether your telescope tracks smoothly and the objects don’t dance around in the eyepiece at the slightest breeze. The EQ370DX is suitable for small and medium-sized telescopes and offers you a comfortable introduction to computer-assisted sky observation and astrophotography. You buy it once and enjoy observing with it for a long time to come.
