Mirror telescope for beginners

Thanks to its short overall length, this compact Newton reflector is still sufficiently stable on the EQ1 mount. The easy handling makes it the ideal telescope for beginners.

ADVANTAGES for beginners:

• Short design and little leverage
• Well-corrected 3-lens eyepieces with approx. 40 or 55 degrees facial field
• Parallactic mounting facilitates tracking, perfect for beginners
• RA motor tracking can be retrofitted

THE TELESCOPE:

This Newton telescope is suitable for all astronomical observations. For example the wonderful craters on the moon, you can see them very beautifully on the terminator (light / shadow border on the moon). The rings of Saturn, or Jupiter with its four great moons and the cloud bands on its surface are also easy to see. Thanks to the large aperture it is also good for DeepSky objects, because of the short focal length you can reach also considerable facial fields. Thanks to the easy handling and the extensive accessories we recommend it as a telescope for beginners, who want to make the first steps in astronomy.
