Product description

More about the series EvoStar...

This telescope set has been put together for you by our experts. It consists of the following:

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

This telescope comes complete with a light aluminium tripod, so the total weight of the telescope is lower than if a tubular steel tripod was used, making it easier to transport.

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
