Featuring a 90 mm and a long focal length of 1250 mm (f/13.9), This telescope is renowned for its high-contrast, sharp images. Its Maksutov optical formula reduces aberrations and produces sharp images, especially on bright objects.

With a resolving power of around 1.28 arc seconds, it is particularly well-suited to observation:

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

Its light-gathering capacity, approximately 170 times greater than the human eye, It can also be used to explore deep-sky objects such as the Orion nebula.

Focusing is achieved via an internal primary mirror displacement system, offering high precision and a wide adjustment range.

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
