The telescope Capricorn-70 EQ-1 is an astronomical telescope designed for demanding beginners who want to discover the sky in the best possible conditions. Thanks to its 70 mm diameter, it captures approximately 36 % more light than a 60 mm model, for brighter, more detailed images.
This gain in brightness enables us to observe not only the Moon and planets, but also certain deep-sky objects such as star cluster, with outstanding image quality for this class of instrument.
The Capricorn-70 is distinguished by its excellent sharpness and contrast, This is particularly true when observing the Moon and planets. Visit multi-coated optics improve light transmission, guaranteeing clearer, more precise images.
Even at high magnification, the stars remain punctual and well-defined, This is particularly appreciated when observing star clusters. This level of precision makes for a pleasant immersion in the night sky.
The telescope is equipped with a EQ-1 equatorial mount, renowned for its good mechanical stability. Unlike low-end mounts, it greatly reduces vibrations, making it easier to focus and observe, even at high magnification.
This mount also allows more natural tracking of celestial objects by compensating for the Earth's rotation. It can be complemented by a tracking engine (supplied), enabling automatic star tracking, an important advantage for long observations.
The Capricorn-70 was designed with a simple philosophy in mind: quick installation and immediate use. The telescope is easy to assemble and quickly operational, even for a novice user.
Once you've got the hang of it, it's easy to use, even for beginners. accompanied children. Its sturdy design means it can withstand regular use, even in less delicate conditions.
Visit height-adjustable aluminium tripod allows the instrument to be easily adapted to the user's size, guaranteeing comfortable observation.
The Capricorn-70 comes with a set of accessories to get you started right away:
The various combinations can achieve magnifications of 36x, 72x, 90x and up to 180x, offering good versatility depending on the objects observed.
Visit 1.25″ format eyepiece holder also opens the door to a wide range of additional accessories, as well as a introduction to astrophotography.
