Achromatic refractor with an objective lens diameter of 120 mm and a focal length of 1000 mm.
This telescope should meet the needs of even the most demanding sky observers. It features a tube with relatively large dimensions. The refractor is mounted on a heavy EQ5 equatorial mount, which offers good stability and precision, and when equipped with a drive with the GoTo system, it is suitable for astrophotography.
This classic achromatic doublet has a moderate lens speed of f/8.3. The objective lenses are coated with anti-reflective coatings, which has a positive effect on image contrast and brightness. The 2" rack-and-pinion focuser is finished with a mounting ring with screws for clamping accessories. It has a Sky-Watcher finder mount and is compatible with Sky-Watcher focuser drives.
