The 80/900 EQ-1 achromatic refractor telescope is an excellent choice for those who want to get started in astronomical observation with a quality, easy-to-use instrument that offers optimal performance for exploring the Moon and the planets of the Solar System.

Main features

• 80mm Achromatic Refractor Optics : Provides clear, high-contrast images ideal for observing lunar details, craters and phases, as well as the major planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus).
• 900mm focal length (f/11.3) : combines sharpness and magnification suitable for detailed observations.
• 1.44" resolution and 11.3 magnitude limit : allows you to capture double stars and bright objects in the night sky.
• Light collecting capacity 130x compared to the human eye : enough to get started in amateur astronomy.

Mounting and handling

• EQ-1 equatorial mount : facilitates manual tracking of the stars thanks to its right ascension axis, perfect for learning celestial orientation.
• Adjustable aluminum tripod : lightweight and stable, easy to carry.

Included accessories

• Luminous dot sight for quick location of celestial objects.
• 2 x 1.25" eyepieces (H 20mm & H 12.5mm) for different magnifications.
• 2x Barlow lens , which doubles the available magnification.
• 90° (1.25") zenith prism , which improves viewing comfort.

Technical data

• Total weight : 8.5 kg (easy to transport and assemble).
• Maximum useful magnification : 160x.
• Rack and pinion focuser (1.25") : precise and robust.

Recommended applications:

✔ Moon and planets : excellent performance.
✔ Nature observation : suitable as a spotting scope with zenith prism.
✘ Deep sky (nebulae, galaxies) : not recommended due to aperture limitations, but star clusters such as the Pleiades and bright nebulae such as Orion can be observed.
✘ Astrophotography : not designed for this use.
✘ Solar observation : only possible with certified solar filter (not included).
