Visit Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ5 SynScan GoTo is a top-of-the-range achromatic telescope designed to offer an advanced observing experience combining optical power and automation. Ideal for passionate astronomers, it lets you explore the sky with precision thanks to its computerized equatorial mount. Thanks to its 120 mm diameter, it captures up to 38 % more light than a 102 mm model, for bright, detailed, high-contrast images.
With a focal length of 1000 mm and a focal ratio of f/8,33, This telescope is perfectly suited to high-magnification observation. It excels in the detailed study of the Moon, planets and double stars, while offering excellent performance on certain deep-sky objects.
The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 is based on a classic achromatic doublet optical design. This system effectively reduces chromatic aberrations, delivering sharp, true-to-life images. Unlike a single lens, this configuration guarantees better convergence of different wavelengths, improving overall image quality.
The lens features Multi-Coated, The result is a bright, high-contrast, sharp image, ideal for observing fine details on the Moon and planets. The result is a bright, high-contrast, precise image, ideal for observing fine details on the Moon and planets.
Thanks to its performance close to the diffraction limit, this telescope makes full use of its 120 mm diameter, offering outstanding image quality for visual observation.
The telescope is supplied with two eyepieces of 26 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 planetary and lunar surfaces.
The f/8.33 focal ratio ensures an excellent balance between brightness and contrast, guaranteeing stable, detailed images even at high magnification. This makes it a versatile instrument, capable of adapting to different types of observation.
The bezel is mounted on a EQ5 SynScan GoTo equatorial mount, a computerized system for automatically locating and tracking thousands of celestial objects. Thanks to its double-axis stepper motors, It ensures smooth, precise tracking, even at high magnification.
The GoTo system automatically points out celestial objects in a matter of seconds, making observation accessible even without in-depth knowledge of the sky. Once the mount is aligned, it follows the objects by compensating for the Earth's rotation, offering optimal viewing comfort.
The integrated polar finder mount facilitates set-up, guaranteeing greater tracking accuracy. This mount is an excellent basis for advanced visual observation and initiation to astrophotography.
The Sky-Watcher EVOSTAR 120 EQ5 SynScan is equipped with a Dual-Fit 1.25”/2” eyepiece holder”, This makes them highly compatible with a wide range of accessories. The 2” (50.8 mm) angled return allows comfortable observation and the use of wide-field eyepieces.
The researcher 9×50 facilitates the initial location of objects, effectively complementing the GoTo system. The direct connection for SLR cameras makes it easy to capture images of the Moon and planets.
The tripod in 1.75” stainless steel” ensures excellent stability, limiting vibrations and guaranteeing comfortable viewing. The integrated accessory tray keeps your equipment organized and accessible.
Thanks to its motorized mount and precise tracking, this configuration is an excellent basis for an introduction to astrophotography. The direct camera connection and the stability of the whole set-up allow you to take detailed shots of the night sky.
The mount requires a power supply 12V DC
