The Omegon 70/900 EQ-1 telescope is a great start to skygazing. Observe the moon, stars, planets and follow them easily with the astronomical mount.
Suitable for all night owls who have always wanted to experience the secrets of the universe for themselves.
The AC 70/900 optics: with a 70mm aperture, this refractor collects 100 times more light than the naked eye and thus also significantly more light than classic beginner telescopes with a slightly smaller 60mm aperture . So it also has a higher resolution and, with a maximum magnification of 140x, shows you the first details when looking at the large planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. The moon is also a very valuable object: you can marvelously observe the landscape of the crater of the moon, which always appears in a different light depending on the phase.
With this optic it is possible to make interesting observations of nature in daylight with an erect lens or with an Amici prism. Focusing is done using an adjustment wheel on the focuser, which drives it through a rack. In this way, the sharpness can always be fine-tuned and remains reliably fixed during observation.
The advantages at a glance:
easy setup in minutes
collects 36% more light than a 60mm telescope
very clear and high contrast image
1.25" focuser for all standard eyepieces
The EQ-1 mount: This equatorial mount already offers the possibility to align the optics exactly with Polaris. The correct geographic latitude or polar height can be set for each observing location. With fine movements in the right ascension and declination axis, objects can be sensitively adjusted and tracked. A counterweight ensures that the optics are precisely balanced.
The EQ-1 mount is delivered in two versions, with stand or table tripod (depending on version), see technical data for more details. The tripod is extendable and can be set at a height of 70 cm to 120 cm, a shelf offers space for eyepieces and other accessories. The table tripod is extremely compact and light: therefore it is ideal for excursions or trips. The smallest of the EQ stands is extremely light, compact and fits in almost any travel bag. It is easy to set up by any beginner and can be used by children just as easily. Motorized tracking on the right ascension axis can be retrofitted as an option.
