BRESSER Spica 130/1000 EQ3 Telescope

A great serious beginner´s scope with reasonable aperture mirror and a long focal length which allows the observation of many celestial targets. Thanks to the catadioptic system (integrated Barlow lens) the length of the tube is kept to a minimum, which aids transportation and storage. The BRESSER Spica comes on an equatorial mount with aluminium tripod, allowing accurate tracking of objects at high powers, using integrated gears and manual slow motion controls (the mount can also be motorised with the addition of a Right Ascension motor kit at a later date). All Newtonian Telescopes have a drawtube focuser on the side of their tube, this offers an adjustable viewing angle, which can be set to the user´s liking by revolving the tube in the support rings - offering comfort while observing celestial bodies. Explore the planets within our solar system and discover the brighter deep sky objects. - With the included smartphone camera adapter you can take pictures of your observations right through the telescope´s eyepiece. - Please note: Newtonian Reflector telescopes are a very good optical design for astronomical observing of the night sky. But these telescopes are not well-suited for observing landscape and nature during daylight. If you´re after a more ´´all-round´´ telescope, we suggest BRESSER refractors (lens-based) telescopes, rather than Newtonians like this, which can be more easily converted for terrestrial observations.
