Telescope Sky-Watcher BK 1201EQ5
The Sky-Watcher BK 1201EQ5 lens telescope will be an excellent gift for an astronomy lover. Coated glass optics form a high-quality image with good detail rendering. This model collects 38% more light than refractors with a 102mm lens, and is great for studying the Moon, solar system planets and deep space objects. The telescope comes with a heavy-duty EQ5 equatorial mount that provides precise tracking of celestial bodies during observations. The refractor is optimal for studying the relief of the Moon and planets. The optics are made of high-quality glass, and the lenses are coated with a multi-layer anti-reflective coating, so the image is clear, sharp and contrasting. In addition, the large lens collects enough light to look at deep-sky objects such as galaxies or nebulae. The telescope tube is closed, so air currents practically do not distort the image. The telescope is compatible with 1.25" and 2" eyepieces. The telescope is mounted on a reliable EQ5 equatorial mount. The mount ensures precise and smooth movement of the optical tube so that the observation object always remains in the field of view. The mount can be supplemented with a pole finder (not included) - the design includes a special holder. In addition, astrophotography enthusiasts can install motor drives (purchased separately) or an auto-guidance system (not included) on the mount. A durable steel tripod dampens vibrations and ensures a stable position of the device. The tripod is equipped with a tray on which it is convenient to hold eyepieces and other additional accessories.
