Sky-Watcher BK909EQ2 Telescope

Sky-Watcher 90/900 is a superb lenticular telescope (refractor) with an objective diameter of 90 mm and a focal length of 900 mm. It allows very advanced visual observations of the planets and the Moon showing a large amount of detail on the surfaces of these objects. Thus, it works great as a "planetary spotter" - especially in urban and suburban areas - but it is also an efficient observing equipment for around nebular objects. Under good observing conditions, it can show about two hundred nebulae, galaxies and star clusters included in the Messier and NGC catalogs.

In addition, it works well as a powerful observation telescope that can be placed on a larger balcony or terrace.

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

The telescope's EQ2 parallactic mount is a recognized quality that guarantees very good rigidity, allowing observation at high magnifications. The lightweight but sturdy height-adjustable aluminum tripod is easy to carry yet stable, while an accessory shelf and a precision micromotion mechanism on the worm gears for manual control complete the package.

The telescope is additionally equipped with an angled SLR connector for observing objects close to the zenith and observing terrestrial objects
