Omegon 70/900 EQ-1 Refractor

For those who want to see beyond the moon

The Omegon 70/900 EQ-1 is the ideal first telescope for beginners who want more than just stargazing. With its 70 mm opening, long focal length of 900 mm (f/12.9) and EQ-1 parallactic mount you learn not only to observe, but also to track objects as experienced astronomers do. This telescope is a perfect stepping stone to serious astronomy and the first steps toward astrophotography.

The achromatic lens delivers bright, high-contrast images of the moon, planets and the brightest deep-sky objects. The parallactic mount lets you track objects by rotating only one axis at a time, ideal for learning to work with the rotation of the sky.

Complete and ready to use

The Omegon 70/900 EQ-1 comes complete with:

• 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces (for low and high magnifications)
• 2× Barlow lens for additional magnification
• 6×24 optical viewfinder for easy targeting
• EQ-1 parallactic mount with adjustable aluminum tripod

With a total weight of only 8 kg this set is stable enough for sharp images, but light enough to be easily set up and moved.

This lens telescope is ideal for tracking the path of celestial objects along the night sky. You will learn not only observing, but also the basics of polar alignment and astronomical tracking - solid preparation for astrophotography or heavier systems.

What you can see with it

✓ The moon with numerous craters, mountains and shadow lines along the terminator
✓ Jupiter with its four Galilean moons and cloud bands
✓ Saturn with its rings and Cassini separation in good viewing
✓ Venus in its phases, like the moon
✓ Bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula (M42) or the Pleiades (M45)
✗ Not suitable for long exposure photography
✗ Never observe the sun without an appropriate solar filter

Why this telescope is ideal for beginners

The Omegon 70/900 EQ-1 is distinguished from toy telescopes by its stable construction and true astronomical mount. You will learn how to align a telescope to the pole star, track objects and use different magnifications - exactly as experienced observers do. Thanks to its solid optics and easy operation, this telescope grows with your knowledge.

Expert Opinion

The 70/900 EQ-1 is an excellent entry-level telescope for children, young people or adults who are serious about starting visual astronomy. It offers enough optical power to see the most important objects in our solar system in razor sharp focus. Those who want more light output later can easily upgrade to a Omegon 90/1000 EQ-2.

Featured accessories

• Moon Filter For comfortable full moon viewing
• Planetary eyepiece (6 mm) for maximum magnification
• Star guide or planisphere to find objects easily
