Thanks to its 90 mm achromatic objective, this telescope combines brightness, contrast and ease of use in one compact system. The combination of two lenses (dublet) corrects most color errors, minimizing disturbing color errors in observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a focal length of 900 mm and an f\/10 ratio, the EvoStar delivers sharp, high-contrast images - ideal for beginners who want to view the Moon, Jupiter or Saturn without worrying about complicated settings. Clarity is also impressive: star clusters and the best-known nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula, come into focus beautifully under dark skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The telescope is light and easy to operate, making it quick to handle even young users. The stable <strong>AZ-3 mount<\/strong> makes aiming and tracking especially smooth. Thanks to the slip clutch and flexible slow-motion axes, you can move precisely without jerking or vibration, which is especially important at high magnifications. The mount is 360\u00b0 rotatable and height adjustable from 71 to 121 cm, allowing for both sitting and standing observing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The included <strong>Amici prism<\/strong> provides an upright, true-to-life image, making this telescope suitable not only for astronomical observations, but also for <strong>nature observation<\/strong> daytime. So you use it at night for the Moon and planets, and during the day as a spotting scope to view birds or distant landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you buy this telescope from Telescoop.nl, you get more than just the instrument. We offer personal support for installation and initial use - so you can start observing without frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application:<\/strong><br>The Sky-Watcher AC 90\/900 EvoStar AZ-3 is the ideal choice for beginners who want a classic, low-maintenance system that allows them to observe both day and night.<br>You can with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exploring the Moon with razor-sharp details of craters and maria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viewing planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, including the rings and moons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seeing bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and the Pleiades<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Landscape and nature observations do thanks to the upright image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astrophotography is not recommended with this setup, but visually it offers an excellent balance between price, stability and optical quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><br>Optics<br>Type: Refractor (Achromat)<br>Opening: 90 mm<br>Focal length: 900 mm<br>Aperture ratio: f\/10<br>Resolution: 1.28\u2033<br>Boundary magnitude: 11.6<br>Light output: 170\u00d7<br>Max. useful magnification: 180\u00d7<br>Tube construction: closed tube<br>Tube weight: 2.5 kg<br>Focuser: rack-type, 1.25\u2033 connection<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mount<br>Type: azimuthal<br>Design: AZ-3<br>GoTo control: no<br>Carrying capacity: 5 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tripod<br>Material: aluminum<br>Height: 71-121 cm<br>Accessory holder: yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessories<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eyepieces 25 mm and 10 mm (1.25\u2033)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6\u00d730 viewfinder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amici prism 1.25\u2033 (45\u00b0 upright image)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two slow-motion cables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General<br>Total weight: 11.7 kg<br>Series: AZ-3<br>Special recommendation: yes<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"61\" data-end=\"272\">Sky-Watcher Telescope AC 90\/900 EvoStar AZ-3 comes with 25 mm and 10 mm eyepiece, 6\u00d730 viewfinder and Amici prism - classic lens telescope for lunar, planetary and earth observation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"739\">\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":30957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[542],"product_cat":[51,567,430],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-30952","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-sky-watcher","product_cat-telescopen","product_cat-refractors","product_cat-telescopen-voor-beginners","product_shipping_class-licht","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[13549,13345],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/30952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30952"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=30952"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=30952"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=30952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
