Sky-Watcher OTA 120/1000 Refractor Telescope

• 120mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope for Planetary Observation
• Large diameter for beautiful detailed observations of the Moon, Sun (with the right filter), Jupiter and Saturn
• Discover some of the brightest deep sky objects.
• Supplied with clamps, dovetail, diagonal star and a 28mm LET eyepiece

120mm diameter achromatic bezel. The Sky -Watcher 120/1000 bezel is one of the large diameter refractors , which allows you to observe the deep sky. In fact, Its 120mm lens reaps 44% more brightness compared to a 100mm bezel . With no central obstruction, this 120mm refractor collects almost as much light as a 130mm Newton . Its focal length of 1000mm gives it an intermediate aperture ratio (f/8.33) that is appreciable in both planetary observation and stellar photography. In visual observation, you can take a tour of the most beautiful Messier objects and discover the brightest nebulae, galaxies and globular clusters.

The dual air element achromatic objective is multi-coated and provides quality low and medium magnification images of Jupiter, Saturn (the ringed planet), and the numerous lunar craters. Sun, By completing the instrument with a solar filter , it reveals sunspots on its surface depending on the day.

Focusing is achieved through a bi-flux rack and pinion focusing system. A 31.75 mm adapter is supplied as standard to use eyepieces of the same format. A clamping screw located on the top of the eyepiece allows focus to be maintained according to the orientation of the telescope . The tube is collimated at the factory and requires no maintenance unlike reflecting telescopes. 

A little extra: on the first clamp, a Kodak threaded screw allows you to adapt a camera in parallel.
