Sky-Watcher BK 1201 EQ3-2 120/1000 Telescope
Sky-Watcher telescope being an achromatic refractor. The optical objective diameter is 120 mm, and the focal length is 1000 mm. The device provides a bright and clear image, making it suitable for observing planets and the Moon. The telescope also allows for locating numerous star clusters as well as brighter nebulae and galaxies.
observation precision, anti-reflective coatings
Moderate lens speed equal to f/8.3 ensures very good, even sharpness across the entire field of view. The objective lenses are coated with anti-reflective coatings to improve contrast and image brightness. The star range is 14.1 magnitude, and the light-gathering power (compared to the naked eye) is 294, allowing for distant and clear observations.
durable construction, stable mount
The telescope tube is mounted on a stable equatorial EQ3-2 mount. The construction is mobile, yet massive enough for photographing the sky using telescopes up to 150 mm in diameter. The system is equipped with precise micro-movements, and it is possible to connect fairly advanced drives such as the SynScan GoTo (so-called EQ3-2 Upgrade Kit). The applied mount allows mounting of telescopes equipped with a Dovetail rail in the Vixen standard.
Rack&Pinion focuser
The BK1206 is equipped with a 2" rack and pinion focuser. It is finished with a clamp ring for securing 2-inch accessories with screws. The focuser body features a standard Sky-Watcher finder mount.

Sky-Watcher is a brand created in 1999 by Taiwan's Synta Technology Corporation, which is now the world's largest manufacturer of amateur astronomy equipment. Its range includes telescopes from simple models for beginners to advanced designs such as ED refractors, Esprit astrographs, and Maksutov systems. Dobsonian telescopes are especially popular, including iconic models with mirror diameters of up to 16 inches, as well as professional EQ8 equatorial mounts valued by astrophotographers. Since 2008, the company has been developing innovative Flex Tube Dobsonian telescopes with an extendable tube, which have become a distinctive symbol of Sky-Watcher in the world of astronomy.
