  • the Moon in fine, contrasting detail
  • planets such as Jupiter and Saturn
  • double stars

EQ1 equatorial mount: precision and learning

The telescope is mounted on a EQ1 equatorial mount, ideal for learning how to track celestial objects. Once aligned with the North Star, it enables precise tracking of objects thanks to micrometric movements on the right ascension and declination axes.

The counterweight ensures that the unit is well-balanced, while the aluminum tripod guarantees stability and lightness.

Accessories included

The telescope comes with the essential accessories to get you started:

  • 25 mm and 10 mm (1.25″) eyepieces
