SkyWatcher PRO ED-120/1000 HEQ-5 Telescope

The SkyWatcher PRO ED-120/1000 HEQ-5 Telescope is a premium quality, high performance telescope for planetary and deep-sky observations as well as astrophotography and CCD imaging. The two-element objective lens is fully multi-coated and utilises special, extra-low dispersion FPL-53 fluorite glass for the virtual elimination of false colour. The ED Apochromatic Optics feature ED Fluorite glass elements, which minimise chromatic aberration, provide higher resolution and superior contrast. Colour fringing around objects is virtually eliminated with this type of optics. The HEQ-5 heavy-duty mount is specially designed for observers who need steadiness without being physically too demanding. This high-precision equatorial mount features engraved aluminum setting circles and a latitude scale, built-in polarscope for both North and Southern Hemisphere use, large R.A. and DEC. locking clamps, electric slow-motion controls on both axes, and retractable counterweight shaft and counterweight. The proposed strong and rigid field tripod is remarkably stable with adjustable height, incorporating 1.5-diameter steel tripod legs. The SkyWatcher PRO ED-120/1000 HEQ-5 Telescope is a professional precision instrument for enjoyable and fascinating sky observations.
