Product description

AC 90/900 optics.
This optics is equipped with an achromatic objective. Because of a special combination of two lenses within the objective, most of the colour aberrations can be corrected. Thus, you do not have to face so many disturbing irregularities as usual with common Fraunhofer refractors. The aperture ratio of 1:10 has an additional positive effect.

The AZ-EQ mount can be used both azimuthally and equatorially: Simply place the mount base horizontally for nature observation or a quick look at the Moon. If you want to observe celestial objects, tilt the mount to an angle roughly corresponding to your latitude, with the tilted axis pointing North. This has the advantage that you only have to rotate continuously around one axis to hold the desired celestial object in the eyepiece.

Solar filter included - to let you safely observe the sun.

Poor stand, to avoid

Review by miciurin on 06.09.2018 23:34:50

( 2 / 5 )

The good first, but there isn’t much to list. This system will give good images of the moon and during daytime for nature watch. For the rest such as astronomical use it should be avoided. The stand is of very poor design. The smallest touch sends the tube into vibrations. It is almost impossible to focus since the moment one touches the focus wheel it starts to vibrate and you can never see whether the focus is working. The inccluded eyepieces are unusable. Used two of my own plossl, a 25 and a 10mm. The 25 is the only one that works giving a magnification of 36x, anything more than that will not focus simply because of the horrible wobbling of the whole thing. Attemting to change the eyepiece results in the found celestial object dissapearing. The flexible movement rods work only partially with jerky movements. I would strongly reccomend researching other models with a decent stand. I cannot comment on the actual optics since the totally inadequate stand prevents a serious assesment of the refractor itself.
