This telescope combines high resolution with excellent light output, allowing you to experience detailed planetary observations as well as the observation of deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For planets, the telescope offers sharp, high-contrast images. You can see details such as the polar caps of Mars, the cloud bands and Great Red Spot on Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. Thanks to the relatively long aperture ratio, chromatic aberrations are well suppressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the 120 mm aperture, you collect almost three times as much light as with a classic 70 mm refractor. This makes deep-sky objects such as the Ring Nebula, the Orion Nebula and globular clusters like M13 visible. Combined with a 2\u2033 wide-angle eyepiece, you enjoy wide fields of stars - ideal for deepsky exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2\u2033 focuser with T2 thread allows the use of both 1.25\u2033 and 2\u2033 eyepieces and also provides connection for cameras. This makes this EvoStar suitable not only for visual observation, but also for basic astrophotography of the Moon, planets and bright nebulae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tube is stylishly finished in black metallic and features a sturdy dovetail for quick mounting on a suitable mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optical design: Achromatic refractor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening: 120 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focal length: 1000 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aperture ratio: f\/8.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resolution: 0.96\u2033<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boundary magnitude: 12.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light collection: 294x relative to naked eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max. useful magnification: 240x<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tube length: 955 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tube weight: 4.7 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focuser: 2\u2033 rack &amp; pinion with T2 thread, includes 2\u2033\/1.25\u2033 adapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Included accessories: 2\u2033 zenith mirror, 25 mm and 10 mm eyepiece, 9\u00d750 viewfinder, tube rings, Vixen swallowtail, dew cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Series: EvoStar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>This 120\/1000 refractor is an excellent choice for the serious beginner or advanced observer who wants to focus on both planets and deep-sky objects.
