Skywatcher Mercury 705 EQ1 - 70 / 500mm Refractor telescope - also as a viewing telescope and for school astronomy

The main advantages of the SKR 70 / 500mm:

Good imaging - a refractor with a short overall length and a very good sharpness. Therefore, the compact device is also suitable for the moon and planets. The craters of the moon and structures on planets can be resolved, stars are displayed as clean small and very sharp points, even at higher magnifications.
A great device also for nature observations, so as an Outlook telescope to use excellently! Sharp animal photos (or a landscape) are easy to implement with this stable design and the telescopic telescope. For nature photographers also (especially in the price - performance ratio seen) worth considering! Where else do you get a telephoto lens with 500mm focal length including the very stable "astronomical" tripod at this price?

Very good eyepiece extraction - the pullout runs clean, without wiggling. This allows you to focus the objects very precisely. You can even connect a camera (a T2 connector is already included as a standard feature and does not have to be bought separately) and thus make beautiful images of the moon and even of planets even under favorable conditions. A tip: Please do not use cameras that are too heavy. The lighter the camera, the less the eyepiece output is.


Set up and get started - this is the motto of the SKR 70 / 500mm. The telescope is always optimally adjusted and immediately ready for use. The telescope can also be operated well by children after a brief briefing. So also a device, which is already suitable for school astronomy (especially with regard to the mount, which makes an accurate tracking of the astronomical objects easy to accomplish).

Good solid mount with field stand - set up and get going, you can realize with this combination. Within a few minutes, the unit is set up. The mount holds the refractor with high stability and even allows, with the flexible shafts, a very accurate tracking of slowly moving objects since an axis of the mounting of the earth axis is aligned according to. (Stars, planets, even astronomical objects ...). With the height-adjustable aluminum tripod, you can adjust any desired observation height up to approx. 160cm.


Photography - The SKR 70 / 500mm already offers many opportunities to get started in photography. There is already a direct photoconnection (T2) on the telescope. Then you have a powerful telephoto lens with a 500mm focal length with good sharpness. This allows you to make very beautiful shots of the moon, the planet, but also of motifs on the earth. Photograph a bird in the nest, even if the 30 meter away is, you will recognize the individual feathers.

An extensive operating manual in German ... What other providers offer as a special service or possibly do not send with telescope service is self-evident ... an extensive documentation in German. It is easy to understand and enables, within a short time, the setup and successful use of the device.
