Skywatcher Evostar 120 refractor telescope with equatorial EQ3-SynScan mountIdeal telescope for beginners in visual observation or astrophotography
Optics
Skywatcher Evostar telescopes are classic two-element, air-spaced,
achromatic refractors. They are outstanding, high-performance,
high-resolution instruments manufactured to high standards of optical
and mechanical precision. With their long focal lengths and
breathtaking, diffraction limited optical performance, they are ideal
for the detailed high-power study of the moon, planetary surfaces and
other objects in our solar system, giving crisp contrasty images.
Mount
The EQ3 PRO SynScan mount is a perfect instrument for novice visual
observers and imagers to enjoy astronomy with minimal setup time and
in-depth knowledge of the night sky. The EQ3 PRO SynScan mounts use the same Go-To system found in the HEQ5 and EQ6 PRO SynScan. It allows you to point the telescope at a specific object or even tour the skies at the touch of a button. Its extensive database includes a massive 42,900+ night sky objects.
Supplied with aluminium tripod. Please note: The Motor Control box supplied is designed to clamp onto 1.75" diameter stainless steel tripod legs. However, the motor control box can also be attached with either cord or Velcro.
