Product description

The AC 60/900 optics:

The classic Fraunhofer refractor with its fully coated objective offers a clear and high-contrast image. The relatively long focal length ensures that the colour error typical of lenses (chromatic aberration) is hardly noticeable. Therefore, this telescope is very well suited for observing bright objects such as our Earth's moon and the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This is where this refractor really shines. With a reversing lens, it is also very suitable for nature observation.

Of course, bright objects that are outside our solar system can be observed too, for example the Orion Nebula or the Hercules Cluster.

The relatively low weight, deep eyepiece view and intuitive operation make this an excellent first telescope for children and young people!

The EQ-2mount:

This parallactic mount already offers the possibility of aligning optics precisely on the North Star. The correct polar height or geographical latitude can be set for any observation location. With fine movements in the right ascension and declination axes, objects can be adjusted and tracked with great sensitivity, while a counterweight ensures that the optics are precisely balanced. Smaller telescopes sit stably and with low vibration on this mount. The aluminium tripod is extendable and height-adjustable, and a storage tray provides space for eyepieces and other accessories. The second smallest of the EQ mounts is extremely light, compact and fits into almost any travel bag. It is easy to set up for any beginner and can also be used by children.

Scope of delivery of the mount:

  • EQ-2 equatorial mount
  • Sturdy aluminium tripod
  • Storage tray
  • Matching counterweight
