Sky-Watcher R-90/900 EQ-3-2 telescope

Sky-Watcher 90/900 The EQ-3-2 is a magnificent lens telescope (refractor) with a 90mm lens diameter and 900mm focal length on a powerful parallactic assembly with micromovements. It allows to conduct very advanced visual observations of planets and the Moon, showing a large amount of details on the surfaces of these objects. It works great as a "planetary spotter" - especially in urban and suburban areas - but it also provides efficient observation equipment for around nebular objects. Under good observational conditions, it can show around two hundred nebulae, galaxies and star clusters contained in the Messier and NGC catalogs.
In addition, it works well as a strong observation telescope, which can be put on a larger balcony or terrace.

It also has a built-in focuser with a diameter of 1.25 inches, which allows the use of any glasses made in this standard. The whole is a perfect solution for both beginners and advanced observers, guaranteeing a very competitive price.

The telescope's EQ3-2 paraglider montage is an unprecedented quality that guarantees very good stiffness, enabling observation at high magnifications. The light, but strong aluminum height-adjustable tripod is easy to carry and at the same time stable, while the accessory shelf and the precise micromovement mechanism on hand-operated scrolls complete the set.

The telescope has been additionally equipped with an adapter for the observation of objects close to the zenith and observation of terrestrial objects
