Meade EQM70 Telescope (Refractor)

Information of Meade EQM70 Telescope (Refractor)

Overview

Meade's EQM70 telescope rangeComing with an equatorial mount . The mount is used with one axis aligned on the Pole Star, meaning you only need to move the telescope on one axis to compensate for the movement of the night sky. This tracking can be done by hand, using the flexible slow-motions provided.

The AC 70/900 optics - With an aperture of 70mm, this refractor collects 100 times as much light as the naked eye alone, and also substantially more light than classical beginner's telescopes with apertures of only 60mm. This also means it has a higher resolution and with a maximum magnification of 140X will already show you the first details when observing the large disc planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Also, it is well worthwhile observing the moon; here you can beautifully observe the ever-changing cratered moonscape which, depending on the phase, always appears different. Nature watching in daylight is also possible with an erecting lens or an amici prism. Focusing takes place by means of a focus wheel on the rack-and-pinion focuser. So the sharpness can always be precisely adjusted and remains reliably fixed during the observation.

Refractor telescopes such as this are also particularly suitable for children, as the eyepiece is located nearer the ground and can be reached without needing a ladder. Also, operation is very intuitive and no collimation is necessary - a telescope for beginners and the entire family!
