Sky-Watcher MC 90/1250 Heritage Virtuoso DOB Dobson telescope

An Exceptional, Portable Scope - Perfect for Everyday Exploration!

The Heritage telescope packs impressive performance and versatility, making it an ideal choice for observing the Moon, planets, double-stars, and even for high-power terrestrial viewing during the day. Supported by the Virtuoso™ mount, it offers a stable platform and automatically tracks celestial objects once located.

With the Virtuoso™ mount, the telescope can be effortlessly slewed in both axes at five different speeds using the electronic keypad. One standout feature is the patented Freedom-Find™ dual-encoder technology, allowing manual movement in either axis without losing alignment or positional information, providing unmatched convenience and flexibility during observation sessions.

Moreover, the Virtuoso™ mount can be upgraded to a Go-To system by acquiring a Synscan™ AZ Go-To handset and cable, unlocking access to over 42,900 night sky objects from its extensive database.

In addition to its remarkable astronomical capabilities, the Virtuoso™ mount boasts several innovative features for photography (camera not included):

• Camera Cruising: Automatically capture photos with your DSLR at up to 6 preset positions, with the mount pausing at each predetermined location to trigger the camera’s shutter release. (Canon-D electronic shutter release cable included, with other Skywatcher cables readily available)
• Video Cruising/Time Lapse Photography: Seamlessly move your video camera through up to 6 preset positions without interruption, with the option to select from 5 different speeds.
• Panoramic/Matrix Photography: Control a DSLR camera to capture expansive panoramas up to 360°.

Presented in an attractive gift box, the Heritage telescope is truly a lifestyle gift that combines both elegance and functionality.
