Thanks to its 120 mm diameter, It offers superior light-gathering capacity, capturing up to 38 % more light than a 102 mm model. This feature produces brighter, more detailed and higher-contrast images.

With a focal length of 1000 mm and a focal ratio of f/8,33, This telescope is ideal for high-magnification observation. It excels at detailed studies of the Moon, planets and double stars, while also performing well on deep-sky objects such as star clusters and bright nebulae.

High-precision achromatic optics

The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 is based on an achromatic doublet optical design, a proven solution for effectively reducing chromatic aberrations. This system guarantees a sharp, high-contrast, true-to-life image, ideal for detailed observations.

The lens features Multi-Coated, The result is brighter images and greater contrast, particularly appreciated when observing lunar and planetary surfaces. The result is brighter images and enhanced contrast, particularly appreciated when observing lunar and planetary surfaces.

Thanks to its performance close to the diffraction limit, this telescope offers excellent optical precision and makes full use of its 120 mm diameter.

Performance optimized for high magnification

The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ5 is supplied with two eyepieces of 25 mm and 10 mm, which can achieve magnifications of x40 and x100. Its theoretical maximum capacity is x240, ideal for observing the fine details of the lunar and planetary surfaces.

Its f/8.33 focal ratio offers an excellent balance between brightness and contrast, guaranteeing stable, well-defined images even at high magnification.

EQ-5 mount: robustness and precision

The bezel is mounted on a EQ5 Deluxe equatorial mount, designed for superior stability and accuracy. When correctly set up, it allows easy tracking of celestial objects by compensating for the Earth's rotation.

Visit slow-motion controls provide precise control on both axes, making it easy to track objects, even at high magnification. This mount is ideal for prolonged observation and provides an excellent basis for further development in astrophotography.

The tripod in 1.5” stainless steel” guarantees excellent stability, limiting vibrations and ensuring optimum viewing comfort. The integrated accessory tray makes it easy to organize your equipment.

A polar finder support is integrated, for more precise positioning (polar finder not included, but available as an option).
