Discovery Spark 709 EQ Telescope with Book

Discovery Spark 709 EQ Telescope with Comprehensive Learning Kit

The Discovery Spark 709 EQ Telescope is an ideal choice for budding astronomers and nature enthusiasts. It is a long-focus refractor telescope featuring achromatic optics, allowing you to explore the planets of our solar system, closely examine the Moon's surface, and even observe select deep-sky objects. When not used for stargazing, this versatile telescope doubles as a spotting scope to magnify distant terrestrial objects, making it perfect for observing nature during daylight hours.

One standout feature of the Discovery Spark 709 EQ is its equatorial mount with slow-motion control. This mount is designed to help you achieve accurate pointing and tracking of celestial objects with ease. The achromatic optics eliminate color distortion commonly found in refractors, and the lenses have an anti-reflective coating, ensuring clear and crisp images. You can enjoy observations at various focal lengths, thanks to the included three eyepieces, diagonal mirror, erect image eyepiece for terrestrial viewing, and a powerful Barlow lens.

For convenience, all accessories can be neatly organized on a tray located at the center of the sturdy tripod, ensuring they're always within reach. The telescope is equipped with a standard 1.25" focuser, allowing compatibility with a wide range of optional accessories for further experimentation. Additionally, the Discovery Spark 709 EQ comes with the insightful book "Space. Non-empty emptiness", providing a wealth of knowledge to enhance your astronomical learning experience.
