With its extended focal length, this refractive telescope is perfectly tailored for observing the moon and planets. Its 102-millimeter aperture offers clear resolution without diffraction caused by a secondary mirror, commonly seen in Newtonian telescopes.
The sizable aperture allows for observing bright nebulae and galaxies, mirroring the exploration of Messier catalogue.
 
Highlighted advantages:
Minimal color aberration
Sturdy drawtube
Perfect for lunar and planetary observations
 
The EQ3 mount
This mount provides a stable foundation for most medium-sized telescopes, ideal for celestial exploration. Aligning the parallactic mount with the Pole Star facilitates easy sighting and adjustments in the field of view, enabling precise tracking using flexible slow-motion controls. Fine-tuning is achievable in both right ascension and declination.
The mount allows for precise adjustment of the polar elevation at the observation site through a fine scale and two screws. It accommodates retrofitting of both polar finders and electric motors with controls on both axes. The EQ3 serves not only visual observing but also serves as a gateway to astrophotography. With optional add-ons like the motor kit or GoTo upgrade, long exposure astrophotography becomes achievable, allowing you to capture stunning images of galaxies and nebulae with practice.
