The N203/1000 telescope:

A classical Newtonian for all applications in astronomy. This instrument brings excellent performance to all areas of astronomy.

This professional Newtonian provides unforgettable views from deep into space. The h+x double cluster in Perseus reveals hundreds of stars in the field of view. The Pleiades actually show the nebula in which the young stars are embedded. The famous Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius displays a wealth of structure and even the famous dark lanes in the Trifid Nebula can be seen.

The image contrast can be further enhanced by the use of optional nebula filters - these can be used without problem with a 200mm aperture.

The small secondary mirror, with its thin support struts, means that comprehensive detail can be observed on the Moon and planets. So not only the Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn can be seen, but also surface detail on the planet itself becomes visible in good seeing. Structure in the Great Red Spot on Jupiter can also be observed, as well as a lot of surface detail on Mars. Also, colour filters may be used to enhance image contrast when observing the Moon and planets.

The Moon and planets make beautiful photographic subjects, and we have the appropriate camera adapter available. The large aperture means exposures can be kept short, increasing resolution We recommend using a guide scope (optional) for guiding if you shoot with a normal SLR camera.

The Orion Atlas EQ-G GoTo mount:

The Atlas EQ-G is the largest mount available from Orion and gives tremendous performance. It can even carry OTAs of up to 18kg while remaining stable and vibration-free. The Atlas mount can even take Newtonian telescopes with a mirror diameter of up to 25cm.

Specializing in astrophotography

As well as its high load bearing capacity, the Atlas EQ-G also tracks with high precision. The 12 ball-bearing and taper-roller bearings employed ensure accurate, successful astrophotography. Matched stainless steel worm gears and bronze worm wheels also ensure smooth tracking with their low worm gear periodic error.

The powerful stepper motors on right ascension and declination axes mean slewing to objects is very quiet, even at high GoTo speed - so your neighbours can enjoy a good night's sleep.

The mount's illuminated polar finder means aligning on the North Pole needs only a couple of minutes. Everything is then ready for starting your observing or astrophotography.

Electronic assistance for your photos

Backlash, periodic error correction and an ST-4 auto-guiding port: Decide for yourself whether you want manual control of guiding or whether you want to allow astrophotography to run completely automatically.

The universe in the palm of your hand: GoTo control

The two-line display lights up in an unobtrusive red in the dark. With a huge catalogue of 42,900 astronomical targets, the system guarantees you will find all kinds of interesting objects - and you can start on this immediately after carrying out the initial star alignment. Choose a planet in the solar system, have a look at well-known Messier objects or even observe NGC objects.

Observe planets, galaxies, globular clusters, emission nebulae, planetary nebulae or objects you have saved yourself.

After you have selected an object, the telescope will automatically slew to it, allowing you to start observing it through the eyepiece.

Control system and mount:

  • GoTo control with clearly laid out hand control box (can even be operated with gloves)
  • red line-display (dimmable) and red backlit buttons
  • 1, 2 or 3 star alignment available
  • over 42,900 objects accessible
