Meade Polaris 90mm Telescope
The Meade Polaris 90mm refractor is the ideal instrument for observing the Moon and planets of the Solar System. A fast lens with a diameter of 90 mm allows you to see the phases of Mercury and Venus, the moons of Saturn, the Great Red Spot of Jupiter and many other objects. The kit includes three eyepieces and a Barlow lens, so that already in the basic configuration this model provides a wide range of magnifications. It is recommended to always start your observations with a long-focus eyepiece. The red dot finder allows you to quickly target objects. The Meade Polaris 90mm telescope tube is mounted on a German-type equatorial mount. This mount allows you to monitor the daily movement of astronomical objects. For smooth movement of the pipe there are mechanisms for subtle movements. In addition, it is possible to install motor drives. A steel tripod with supports with a diameter of 32 mm ensures a stable position of the telescope.
