Product description

The Refractor telescope which makes dreams come true: 152mm aperture in standard quality of Fraunhofer, one of the largest refractors in volume production!

One of the most efficient comon lens telescopes ! The aperture ratio of 1:5 makes this telescope especially useful for the observation of comets or Deep Sky objects, which seem to be integrated harmoniously into the surronding scenery thanks to the enormous field of vision. It´s also appropriate for the astronomical photography. This instrument is the perfect match for those who love clear contrasts, strong light efficiency and NO obstruction!

The HEQ-5 mount:

The high-quality parallactic HEQ-5 mount turns your telescope into a precision instrument for exciting and fascinating astronomical observing. The extensive equipment included with the HEQ-5 includes a polar finder for easily aligning the telescope to the correct position in the sky, aluminium right ascension and declination scales and electric tracking motors on both axes. So you only need to align the parallactic mount to the celestial North Pole before observing and then let your telescope track via the motors - ideal for getting started in astrophotography! The mount weighs 7.4 kg and is much more stable than the simpler EQ-5 mount. The HEQ-5 also damps down vibrations much more quickly.

Mount and tracking features:


  • speeds 2X, 8X and 16X sidereal
  • polar finder

  1. Included with the mount:

  • parallactic HEQ-5 with motors on both axes
  • sturdy tubular steel tripod
  • suitable counterweights
