Powerful achromatic refractor for planetary detail<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher AC 120\/1000 EQ5<\/strong> Brings Moon and planets to life. The 120 mm lens captures a lot of light and delivers high contrast. Craters, mountains and cloud bands on Jupiter are sharp and easily visible. Mars\u2019 polar caps and Jupiter's Great Red Spot stand out clearly. Color errors are limited, keeping your image natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also suitable for Deep Sky<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the large aperture, you can see bright deep-sky objects such as the Ring Nebula or M13. You'll see star clusters and nebulae that are invisible to the naked eye. The 2\u2033 eyepiece offers a wide field of view, ideal for viewing large objects in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Practical and versatile optics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The telescope features a 2\u2033 eyepiece holder with 1.25\u2033 adapter. This allows you to use both eyepiece sizes. The viewfinder makes it easy to find objects. You can even take astrophotos of the Moon, planets and some nebulae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elegant and solid design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tube and viewfinder have a stylish black metallic design. The telescope is light and compact, yet rugged. With the Vixen-style dovetail, you quickly mount it on almost any equatorial mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEQ-5 Pro GoTo mount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EQ5 Pro SynScan mount makes aiming and tracking easy. Set the pole height via the scale and fix it with the screws. With the motors and manual controls, you automatically track objects. This keeps your image stable and ideal for visual observation or astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we recommend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2713 Moon and planets: excellent
\u2713 Deep-sky: well visible
\u2713 Astrophotography: suitable for beginners
\u2717 Sun: only with appropriate filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
