Telescope Sky-Watcher SKYHAWK BK 1145EQ1
Sky-Watcher Skyhawk BK 1145EQ1 is a classic Newtonian reflector, whose capabilities will be highly appreciated by demanding beginners and experienced space explorers. The 114mm lens collects plenty of light to help you study dim space objects, while the parabolic primary mirror eliminates spherical distortion for clearer, more readable images. The telescope is great for studying the Moon and planets of the solar system, but it works best when studying galaxies, star clusters and nebulae. The optical tube is attached to an equatorial mount, which is controlled by two fine movement knobs. It provides ample opportunities for searching and tracking astronomical objects across the sky. The controls are simple and intuitive. When working with the mount, the optical tube moves smoothly, without jerking. You can start making observations immediately, as the necessary optical accessories are included in the package: two eyepieces and a Barlow lens. Thanks to this set, observations can be carried out at different magnifications even without purchasing additional devices. The telescope is mounted on an aluminum tripod with a tray for accessories. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted.
