The AC120/600 telescope:
This is an uncomplicated, extremely compact instrument suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observing. With a120mm diameter objective lens, this telescope opens a window into the vastness of the universe at an affordable price. It can be called a 'rich field' telescope with its short focal length, making superb wide angle observing possible. The resolution of this refractor is substantially better than that of the 70mm version, providing a more detailed view when planetary observing. The resolution is a very respectable 1.14 arcseconds. Experience virtually three-dimensional views of the Andromeda Galaxy or the Orion Nebula - the enormous field of view almost turns it into a space walk. Observe Saturn with its free-floating rings and Cassini division for example. Or take a look at our largest planet, Jupiter, showing its numerous cloud bands and the beautiful Great Red Spot. You can even see detail of the finest turbulence in the clouds when using a contrast filter.
The Orion AstroView mount:
This sturdy mount slides silkily into position and is suitable for any type of telescope. It easily carries telescopes of up to 120mm aperture and can also be used for photography. At 13kg in weight it is not the lightest mount around, but this means it is more stable, guaranteeing you wonderful nights observing.
Included with the mount:
- sturdy, equatorial mount
- aluminum tripod
- suitable counterweights
- accessory tray
