Telescope Sky-Watcher BK 1145EQ1
Sky-Watcher BK 1145EQ1 is a short-focus Newtonian reflector on an equatorial mount. This telescope is perfect for exploring the beauty of deep space. You can see many nebulae, galaxies and star clusters through it. If desired, it can be used both on the planets of the solar system and on the Moon, but if you are looking for a telescope specifically for exploring the far reaches of the Universe, the Sky-Watcher BK 1145EQ1 is an excellent choice. To point at astronomical objects and guide them across the sky, a classic equatorial mount is used. It has simple controls; the telescope is moved using fine movement handles. A counterweight is used to balance the optical tube. The mount is mounted on an aluminum tripod with a tray for accessories. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted. Basic optical accessories are supplied with the telescope. The eyepieces provide a low magnification, which is convenient for studying deep space. If necessary, you can purchase eyepieces that provide a greater zoom to get the most out of your optics. The model is great for direct focus astrophotography. To do this, you will need a DSLR camera with a detachable lens and additional astronomical accessories.
