The EQ3-2 mount:
This mount is a further development of the EQ-3 mount designed in white. It provides a stable base for most medium-sized optics and is ideal for exploring the night sky. Once you have aligned the parallactic mount with the Pole Star, you can easily sight on an object, adjust it in the field of view and track it using the flexible slow-motions. Fine adjustment is possible in both right ascension and declination. The polar elevation at the observing site can be set using the fine scale provided and adjusted perfectly by using two screws. Both polar finder and electric motors plus a control can be retrofitted to both axes: the EQ3-2 is suitable not only for visual observing, but also for getting started in astrophotography. With optional add-ons such as the motor kit or GoTo upgrade kit, long exposure astrophotography also becomes possible. With a little practice, you will soon be able to produce successful images of galaxies and nebulae.
Included with the mount:
- mount with manual adjustment knobs
- extra brace with eyepiece tray
- suitable counterweights
Carrying bag and rucksack all-in-one!
Oklop telescope bags are designed and produced to exactly fit the size of the equipment and to provide safe transportation with the following advantages:
- The bags for telescopes are balanced, which means that the holders are placed exactly according to the center of gravity.
- The cylindrical shape protects all parts of the scope so the equipment doesn’t wobble while you carry it in your hand or on your shoulder.
- The material that we use is a shiny polyester that gives both a fine touch and keeps the water away.
- The inner silk covered foam rubber padding provides protection from the moderate blows, holds the shape of the bag and makes them light in weight.
- The carabiners and rings are made from metal for long life.
- The edges of the bags are bound with fabric to prevent fraying.
- The bags are “easy to close” due to the spiral zipper.
