Sky-Watcher BK 909 EQ3-2 Telescpoe
A telescope being a classic achromatic refractor designed for detailed observations of the Solar System objects and brighter deep-sky objects. The optical system based on a 90 mm diameter lens and 900 mm focal length provides very good image sharpness.
90 mm lens and 900 mm focal length - precision of observation
The optical system with a lens speed of f/10 enables obtaining clear and high-contrast images. These parameters are particularly useful during Moon and planet observations, where accuracy in detail rendering is crucial. The telescope allows noticing surface structures and subtle differences in the brightness of observed objects.
Operating parameters, durable construction
The magnification range from 13x to 180x allows adapting the image to the type of observed object. The telescope offers a light-gathering capacity 165 times greater than the human eye, which enables the observation of fainter objects. An adjustable tripod with a height of 71-123 cm allows adjusting the stand to the user, while a tube length of 910 mm ensures stable operation of the optical system.
1.25" Rack&Pinion focuser for smooth focus adjustment
The telescope is equipped with a 1.25" standard rack focuser which allows precise focus adjustment. The construction is compatible with additional Sky-Watcher drives, allowing further expansion of the set. A screw mount stabilizes optical accessories during operation.
EQ3-2 equatorial mount - stability and movement control
The model is equipped with an EQ3-2 equatorial mount, which allows guiding the telescope in accordance with the movement of the celestial sphere. The head structure provides stability even at higher magnification, and the micro-movement knobs allow precise positioning in both axes. The mount is adapted for connecting drives, facilitating object tracking during longer observations.
possibility to observe from planets to deep-sky objects
The Solar System:
- detailed observations of the Moon's surface (objects >2 km)
- cloud belts on Jupiter and their structure
- Cassini division in Saturn's rings
- Uranus as a disk, Neptune as a point
- observation of sunspots (with an appropriate filter)
Stars
- objects up to 12.4 magnitude
- separating double stars from about 1.5"
Deep-sky objects
- globular clusters, nebulae, galaxies
- Messier catalogue objects and brighter NGC with visible details
accessories included
