Telescope Sky-Watcher BK MAK80EQ1
Sky-Watcher BK MAK80EQ1 is a compact catadioptric on an equatorial mount. This model can be used both for stationary observations and as a traveling instrument. Using the Sky-Watcher BK MAK80EQ1 telescope, you can observe the Moons, planets of the solar system and deep space objects. The pipe is assembled according to the Maksutov-Cassegrain scheme. This design makes it possible to achieve high optical performance with a compact telescope size. Sky-Watcher BK MAK80EQ1 is equipped with 3.6 mm and 17 mm eyepieces. The EQ1 equatorial mount provides precise tracking of objects during observations. To ensure that the pipe moves smoothly, the mount is equipped with mechanisms for fine movements along both axes. Additionally, a motor drive can be installed on the right ascension axis. The height of the aluminum tripod is adjustable.
