The Sky-Watcher 114/900 EQ1 Reflector Telescope is a fantastic telescope for the beginning amateur astronomer. It has the benefits of gathering 125% more light than a 76mm telescope and 165% more than a 70mm refractor showing better the main details in nebulae and cluster. With maximum practical magnification of 224x , this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon. Equatorial Mount Features The EQ1 is a lightweight equatorial mount, able to compensate for Earth’s rotation by moving along only one axis. That is a great advantage for high resolution observation as it is only necessary to turn a single knob whilst tracking an object across the sky. The optional tracking motor can be easily attached to the right ascension axis, allowing comfortable observation without the work of manual tracking. Aligning an equatorial mount is an easy operation that can be completed in a few minutes. Once the tripod is levelled and the mount is orientated south, incline the mount at the same angle of your local latitude. For example, if you are in Sydney (latitude 33° South), adjust the mount inclination to 33° above the horizon using the scale on the EQ1 mount.

They are made up of borosilicate glass that has a very low expansion coefficient, reducing the stresses caused by thermal gradients. The primary mirror uses a special lightweight technology. In fact, the mirror is extremely light and thin, but the glass ribs beneath minimise the glass deformation, thus allowing continuous high performance in all the telescope angulations. Moreover, the small thickness of the mirror allows a much quicker cooling time compared to the standard monolithic mirrors. The secondary mirror has a honeycomb structure that follows the concept of the primary mirror: lightweight, rigid and quick to cool down. Both the mirrors are aluminised and in order to protect the reflective treatment over the years, the coatings are protected by a thin layer of quartz (silicon dioxide). This protection is needed as the mirrors are exposed to external elements due to their position in an open truss tube. Sky-Watcher is one of the few companies in the world that use this particular technology.Computerized Synscan The Stargate Go-To is equipped with the Sky-Watcher SynScan that has in it’s memory 42,900 objects! Once the telescope is aligned, thousands of objects will be visible with a touch of a button; planets, the entire Messier catalogue, bright and double stars and the IC, NGC, SAO catalogues. In addition to this, the Deep Sky Tour function suggests a list of the most interesting deep sky objects so even the inexperienced astronomer can easily observe faint nebulae and galaxies. The Freedom Find technology (dual-encoder) allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes, but without losing any of the pre-set alignment.Accessories in the Box: <ul> <li> SynScan hand controller with cables 12V power cable with lighter socket plug </li> <li> Finderscope 9X50 straight version Eyepiece 2″ LET 28mm (71x) – apparent filed </li> <li> of view 56° Eyepiece 1.25″ Super Plossl 10mm (200x) – apparent filed of view </li> <li> 52° Eyepiece adapter from 2″ to 1.25″ with M42 thread 2″ tube extension </li> <li>Collimation Eyepiece User Manual</li></ul>

The Sky-Watcher AZ3 Mount is the perfect companion to smaller telescopes, large spotting scopes, binoculars and cameras. It’s an excellent platform for mounting observing devices. Durability and Reliability Sky-Watcher uses only high quality components and materials in their mounts. This ensures that you get the most stable viewing platform within the prescribed payload. This is important for an Alt-Azimuth mount since it can be moved in all axes.Smooth and Precise Slewing The mount is engineered to strict parameters to produce very precise and smooth movements. This significantly reduces the vibrations caused by manually adjusting the position of the tube making the entire viewing experience much more pleasant.Fine Adjustment Knobs The altitude and azimuth adjustment knobs are a great advantage for moving your optics at high magnifications. While standard photographic tripods allow rough movements that make framing particularly difficult, these two flexible knobs allow fine regulation.In the box:<ul> <li>Aluminium Tripod</li> <li>Alt-Azimuth Mount Head</li> <li>Accessory Tray</li> <li>Two Fine Adjustment Knobs</li></ul>

130 Black Diamond Reflector OTA The Sky-Watcher Black Diamond 130/650 Photo Reflector OTA is a 130mm aperture Newtonian reflector with diffraction limited optics, all the light gathering power you need for visual use or astrophotography! Newtonian reflector telescopes are among the most cost effective design on the market, reaching much larger apertures than an equivalently priced refractor. The large aperture will help resolve faint, extended objects like nebulae and galaxies, whilst the 650mm focal length will reveal fine details of lunar craters. The 130/650 Photo Reflector is equipped with an excellent Crayford dual speed focuser allowing fast, coarse regulation followed by a precise 10:1 reduction adjustment knob to reach the optimal focus. A 3 element 28mm LET eyepiece is provided, allowing 23x magnification and a 56° apparent field of view with 20mm of eye relief. The aluminised primary mirror is aspheric (parabolic profile) offering an optical system free from spherical aberration. The secondary mirror is thin to allow fast cooling and it is held by extra thin spider supports for minimal diffraction spike effects on bright stars and increased contrast.In The Box:<ul> <li>Sky-Watcher Black Diamond 130/650 Photo Reflector OTA</li> <li>28mm LET Eyepiece</li> <li>8×50 Finder Scope</li> <li>130mm Tube Rings</li> <li>Dovetail Bar</li></ul>

Sky-Watcher Heritage-90 Virtuoso Dobsonian Telescope Four centuries ago, an Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, introduced an elementary telescope that changed the science forever. His discoveries provided the solid evidence to disprove the Earth was the centre of the Universe. And now, to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy, Sky-Watcher is proud to present the commemorative edition of Newton’s Telescope – Heritage. Designed to be fully functional telescope, this Sky-Watcher Heritage-90 Virtuoso Dobsonian Telescope is very simple and easy to use, an ideal gift for young astronomer. Equipped with a Virtuoso™ mount with Freedom-Find™ technology, it allows the telescope to be manually manoeuvred in either axis without disrupting the polar alignment; thus creating freedom and convenience to users using the telescope. Besides, the setup also offers camera/video cruising through six preset positions at five different speeds. This ensures smooth picture acquisition of the object without causing it to run off from the field of view. Nonetheless, the Virtuoso mount can be further upgraded to a GO-TO system by installing the Synscan AZ GO-TO handset and cable. Sky-Watcher Heritage-90 Virtuoso Dobsonian Telescope Features:<ul> <li>Perfect For Beginners</li> <li>90mm High Contrast Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics</li> <li>Camera/Video Cruising up to 6 preset positions</li> <li>5 Different Cruising Speed Modes</li> <li>Virtuoso™ Mount Stable Platform</li> <li>Can be upgraded to GO-TO System</li> <li>5 Years Sky-Watcher Limited Warranty</li></ul>

Sky-Watcher 1.25″ Erect Image Diagonals Most of the telescopes work perfectly well during daytime as well as for astronomy. If you have a refractor or a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and you want to use it for terrestrial observations, Sky-Watcher Erect Image Diagonals are the most useful accessory you can buy. Normally, image created through telescopes may be either upside down, flipped so that you see a mirror image, or a combination of the two. It will be very confusing when you are trying to track a moving boat or flying bird. This problem can be corrected easily by using a erect image diagonal Simply remove the standard diagonal from the telescope’s focuser or visual back, and install the Sky-Watcher Erect Image Diagonal, then when you insert an eyepiece, objects will be right side up and left-to-right correct. These Amici prism diagonals are very comfortable for daytime observations, where the telescope is often in a horizontal position.
