Skywatcher Heritage Virtuoso 90 - 90 / 1250mm Maksutov telescope with tracking

Skywatcher Heritage-90 Virtuoso

A computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope

The Heritage 90 Virtuoso by Skywatcher is a reflecting telescope that allows beginners with 90 mm aperture and 1250 mm focal length lunar and planetary observations (such as cloud bands in Jupiter and the rings of Saturn) and also bright first deep-sky observations (the Andromeda galaxy with its companions , the cluster of stars M 13 or the Orion Nebula). The focus is on detailed moon and planetary images and (ALWAYS ONLY WITH SPECIAL FILTERS!) Solar observations (sunspots).

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.

The Heritage is small and handy and its handling is simple and intuitive. The structure is uncomplicated and can be done in a few minutes.

This makes him an entry-level and travel telescope.

This telescope is very well suited to let the entry into the fascination of the sky succeed and to bring the function of a telecope impressively and practice-oriented in class as well. It is ideal for teaching physics and school astronomy.

Other clever features:

Camera Cruising:

With a DSLR camera you can approach up to six preset positions. The mount stops at each of these positions and triggers via adapter cable (comes with) the camera (camera is not included).

Video Cruising / Time Lapse:
The mount can constantly move your camera steadily between (maximum six) preset positions. Up to five speeds can be selected for this.

Panorama / Matrix Photography:

The mount will take your camera up to 360 ° for panoramic shots.
