Optical Tube

The Maksutov optical system is highly regarded for its versatility, ease of use, and exceptional performance. It is well-suited for a wide range of observations, including both astronomical and terrestrial viewing, as well as aircraft tracking. The telescope boasts excellent optics that deliver incredibly sharp images across the entire field of view. Its construction consists of a meniscus correction board, a primary mirror, and a secondary mirror placed within the meniscus. Maksutov telescopes exhibit minimal coma and significant reduction in chromatic aberration, resulting in vivid and precise images. A notable advantage of Maksutov telescopes is their compact and lightweight design. With their long focal length and low-light capabilities, they are particularly suitable for planetary observations. These telescopes excel in urban environments, where the focus is often on solar system objects rather than nebulae.

EQ-3-2 Parallactic Mount

The EQ-3-2 (CG-4) parallactic mount has received high praise from experienced observers for its durability, precision, and stability. It offers a range of advanced features that cater to the needs of seasoned astronomers. The mount is securely placed on an adjustable aluminum tripod, providing a solid foundation for observations. A convenient table-shelf is included for storing accessories. The built-in spirit level ensures effortless and accurate leveling of the mount. The mount's precise micro-adjustment controls enable manual tracking of celestial objects with great accuracy. The EQ-3-2 features gear-driven mechanisms for both the RA and DEC axes, allowing for precise control of motion. Metal adjustment rings equipped with scale dials facilitate swift and easy tracking based on location coordinates.
