The Skywatcher Quattro 12S Photo Newton is checked and adjusted by us before delivery. The focuser is set.
For this, the Quattro 12S Newton must be built together beforehand, as the mirror is supplied individually. But that only makes sense if the telescope is picked up from us. If we have to ship we test the mirror without installing it in the tube.

All Newtonian telescopes should be adjusted before first use and then periodically for a clear image. We adjust all of our Newton before they leave our house.

These telescopes are shipped free of charge in Germany.





 

Skywatcher QUATTRO-12S 300mm 1200mm 12 '' f / 4 Photo Newton Metal Tube

A powerful 12 '' telescope with 300mm aperture and 1200mm focal length optimized for astrophotography.

There are not only alternators in the car! :-)
Newton telescopes are considered (and are) basically high-powered telescopes. From f / 5 I define again as particularly bright. When observing the moon, we definitely recommend a filter to reduce the glare effect. - The moon reflects so much light that the light should be attenuated (especially at low magnification). Also note the dark adaptation of the eye. For example, if I want to observe deep sky objects after the moon, the adaptation of the eye takes a certain amount of time before I can perceive the much fainter ones again in detail.
And that brings us to the objects that such a Newton can show in abundance - visually and photographically!
Deep sky objects (ie galaxies, nebulae, star clusters ...) do not require a high magnification, but a corresponding light gathering power. For photography, this also means the shortest possible exposure time for a shot.

With this device beautiful details on the moon and planets can be seen! So you do not have to do without this field of application:
An (almost) all-rounder among the telescopes focusing on deep sky.

At this mirror diameter you can see the structure of nebulae and galaxies, details are resolved. Finest details in nebulae and galaxies come to light Edge stars of star clusters, do not remain hidden from you.
Details in abundance in the moon and planets will captivate you for a long time, this abundance of image information will not stop. The excellent optics and its enormous image brightness make every observation a special pleasure.

For school astronomy, this device is recommended for use by Astrofoto AG.

Please take our purchase advice! Your wishes are important to us!

A further advantage of this telescope is the 2 "linear power pullout .This pullout separates the bearing from the adjustment, which also makes heavy loading possible, compared to the Crayford pullout.Three precision ball bearings stabilize the inner tube, while the adjustment is stabilized by a stainless steel rod The weight of a full-format SLR is no problem!

This makes detailed images of planets and deep-sky objects really fun.

Product advantages:

+ For savvy advanced and experienced astronomy enthusiasts
+ For lunar, planetary and deep-sky observations
+ By 300mm opening at f / 4 very high light output power
+ Sturdy 2 '' extension suitable for heavier loading
+ Newton telescope optimized for astrophotography
+ 2 eyepieces included
+ Focal position ideal for DSLR and other cameras
