Product description

More about the series EQ-5...

The Refractor telescope which makes dreams come true: 152mm aperture in standard quality of Fraunhofer, one of the largest refractors in volume production!

One of the most efficient comon lens telescopes ! The aperture ratio of 1:5 makes this telescope especially useful for the observation of comets or Deep Sky objects, which seem to be integrated harmoniously into the surronding scenery thanks to the enormous field of vision. It´s also appropriate for the astronomical photography. This instrument is the perfect match for those who love clear contrasts, strong light efficiency and NO obstruction!

The NEQ-5 mount:

This mount is a further development of the EQ-5, in a white design. It provides a solid platform for most large telescopes and is excellent for exploring the night sky. Once you have aligned the parallactic mount on the Pole Star, you can easily sight on an object, position it in the field of view, and track it using the slow motion control knobs provided. Fine adjustment is possible in right ascension and declination. The polar elevation at the observing site can be set using the fine scale provided and adjusted perfectly by using two screws. Both a polar finder and electric motors for both axes plus a control unit can be retrofitted: the NEQ-5 is suitable not only for visual observing, but also for getting started in astrophotography. Long exposure astrophotography is also possible with the optional upgrades available, such as the motor kit or the GoTo kit. With a little practice, you will soon be able to produce successful images of galaxies and nebulae.
