Telescope Sky-Watcher BK MAK127EQ3-2
Sky-Watcher BK MAK127EQ3-2 is a powerful mirror-lens telescope for studying the planets of the Solar System and deep space objects. With its help you can see craters and mountains on the Moon, the belts of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, many star clusters, galaxies and nebulae. High-quality optics produce bright, clear images, and the EQ3-2 equatorial mount ensures precise tracking of objects. Optics This model is a catadioptric, assembled according to the Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design. Thanks to this design, the telescope combines high optical characteristics and fairly compact dimensions. The kit includes two Kellner eyepieces. It is recommended to start observing with an eyepiece with a long focal length: it has a wide field of view and is excellent for finding objects. An eyepiece with a shorter focal length allows you to study celestial bodies at high magnification. Mount The optical tube is mounted on an equatorial mount, which allows the telescope to smoothly move during observations, compensating for the daily movement of astronomical objects. A durable aluminum tripod securely holds the structure and ensures a stable position of the pipe. For user convenience, the height of the tripod is adjustable.
