Powerful achromatic refractor for planets and Moon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher AC 120\/1000 HEQ5<\/strong> renders Moon and planets razor sharp. The 120 mm lens captures a lot of light and delivers high contrast. You can see craters, mountains and cloud bands clearly. Mars\u2019 polar caps and Jupiter's Great Red Spot stand out nicely. Color errors are limited, keeping your image natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Deep Sky objects at your fingertips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With this aperture, you can also see bright deep-sky objects such as the Ring Nebula and M13. Star clusters and nebulae appear bright even if they are invisible to the naked eye. With a 2\u2033 eyepiece, you have a wide field of view and see large objects at once.<\/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 has a 2\u2033 eyepiece holder and 1.25\u2033 adapter. This allows you to use both eyepiece sizes. The included viewfinder helps you find objects quickly. You can also use it to take astrophotos of Moon, planets and bright nebulae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The black metallic tube and viewfinder look stylish. The Vixen-style dovetail allows quick mounting on the HEQ-5 Pro mount. The telescope is light and compact, yet stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The HEQ-5 Pro GoTo makes aiming and tracking easy. Set the pole height via the scale and fix it with the screws. With the motors and SynScan hand controls, you track objects automatically. This keeps your image stable, ideal for visual observation and beginning 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
