Visit Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ3-2 is a high-performance achromatic refractor designed for demanding astronomers who want to take their observing to the next level. Thanks to its large 120 mm diameter, It offers significantly enhanced light-gathering capacity, capturing up to 38 % more light than a 102 mm model. This results in images that are brighter, more detailed and richer in contrast.
With a focal length of 1000 mm and a focal ratio of f/8,33, This telescope combines excellent resolution with good brightness. It is ideal for detailed observation of the Moon, planets and solar system objects, as well as exploring deep-sky targets such as star clusters and bright nebulae.
The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 is based on a classic achromatic doublet optical design. This system effectively limits chromatic aberrations while guaranteeing a sharp, high-contrast image. It offers excellent detail reproduction, particularly appreciated when observing at high magnification.
The lens benefits from Multi-Coated, The result is brighter images with enhanced contrast, ideal for observing the fine details of lunar and planetary surfaces. The result is brighter images and enhanced contrast, ideal for observing the fine details of lunar and planetary surfaces.
Thanks to its performance close to the diffraction limit, this telescope makes full use of its 120 mm diameter, offering precise, immersive images.
The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ3-2 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 planets, lunar craters and double stars.
Its f/8.33 focal ratio offers an excellent compromise between contrast and brightness, for stable, detailed images even at high magnification.
The bezel is mounted on a EQ3-2 Deluxe equatorial mount, renowned for its robustness and precision. Once correctly set up, thanks to its integrated polar sight support, it allows you to easily track celestial objects by compensating for the Earth's rotation.
Visit slow-motion controls offer precise control on both axes, making it easy to track high-magnification objects. This mount is ideal for prolonged observations and is an excellent basis for starting out in astrophotography.
The sturdy aluminum tripod ensures good stability, reducing vibrations and guaranteeing optimum viewing comfort. The integrated accessory tray makes it easy to organize your equipment.
The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ3-2 is equipped with a Dual-Fit 1.25”/2” eyepiece holder”, A wide range of eyepieces and accessories can be used. This flexibility offers many possibilities for upgrading to suit your needs.
Visit angled return 1.25” (31.7 mm) ensures comfortable viewing, especially when the telescope is aimed at the sky. What's more, the direct connection for SLR cameras makes it easy to capture images of the Moon and planets.
Thanks to its stability and tracking accuracy, this telescope is an excellent basis for learning and progressing in astrophotography.
The researcher 6×30 included makes it easy to locate celestial objects, enabling fast, efficient positioning. Combined with the equatorial mount, it enables objects to be precisely located and tracked.
It's easy to learn, even for motivated beginners. Although the equatorial mount requires a slight learning curve, it offers far greater comfort and precision for tracking celestial objects.
