Product description

The AC 102/1000: Thanks to its long focal length, this refracting telescope is ideally suited to lunar and planetary observations. The 102 millimetre obstruction-free aperture provides good resolution without diffraction caused by a secondary mirror found in e.g. Newtonian telescopes.

Due to the relatively large aperture, bright nebulae or galaxies are also within reach. Follow in the footsteps of Charles Messier (1730-1817) and observe all of the objects in his famouscatalogue of nebular objects. It is also worth mentioning the very low colour aberration resulting from its generous focal ratio.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Low colour aberration
  • Solid drawtube
  • Ideally suited for lunar and planetary observations

Upright image: The diagonal mirror at the end of the telescope not only provide a comfortable view, but also correct the inverted image created by the telescope lens. So you can see the Moon, for example, the same way up as with the naked eye. This makes it much easier to navigate the surface of our celestial companion; finding objects using a star map is also easier.

The EQ-3: This equatorial mount provides the opportunity to precisely align scopes with Polaris. The correct pole height or geographical latitude can be set for each observation site. Thanks to fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes, objects can be precisely located, followed and kept within the visual field. A counterweight precisely balances the telescope.
The EQ-3 mount provides a solid base for most smaller and medium-sized scopes and is very well suited to spacewalks through the night sky. The tripod is extendible and a shelf provides space for eyepieces and other accessories.

Includes:

  • Telescope
  • EQ3 mount with counterweight
  • Flexible shafts for fine-tuning
  • Tripod with accessory shelf
  • 2 eyepieces
  • LED red dot finder
  • 90° upright prism
  • Barlow lens x3
  • Smartphone holder
