 Meade Telescope N 76/700 EclipseView

Item Description:


The EclipseView telescopes are light and uncomplicated. They are ideal for a quick look at our solar system: moon, planets and sun!

The sun may only be observed with optical instruments that are specially equipped for it! The accessories for the EclipseView telescopes already contain everything you need for a safe observation of the sun: Put the ISO-certified sun filter with its precisely fitting socket on the front end of the telescope. It ensures that only a tiny fraction of solar radiation gets into the instrument. With this "white light filter" the photosphere of the sun can be observed. The photosphere shows fascinatingly structured sunspots, the number of which changes in an eleven-year cycle: The view of the sun is never the same!
The enclosed sun finder helps to point the telescope towards the sun.

The sun is going down, it is night: Remove the sun filter and replace it with the red dot finder. With this viewfinder, it is very easy to set the moon and planets. With your EclipseView telescope you can observe craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, Jupiter with its moons and the rings of Saturn. Even bright nebulae, like the Orion Nebula, are within the range of these telescopes.

The optics N 76/700:

The entry-level class of mirror telescopes starts with a 76mm aperture. The Jupiter system with its four large Galilean moons or the ring of Saturn can be seen as well as countless lunar craters. Even the way to the Andromeda galaxy or the large Orion nebula and other objects are open to the observer. Just let yourself be led into the world of stars, it is a completely different experience than just looking at pictures.
With a 76mm lens aperture, the telescope collects about 118 times more light than the naked eye. The spherical mirror has a focal length of 700mm, the combination of mirror diameter and focal length leads to a convincing image. The tube offers a 1.25 '' focuser, on which all modern 1.25 '' eyepieces can be used. By fine-tuning the pull-out, you can easily find the optimal sharpness for the celestial object.

In conjunction with a reversing lens, you can even point the telescope at teresstrian targets and make land observations.

The advantages at a glance:

compact Newtonian telescope
set up in a short time
also very suitable for children
1.25 '' focuser
about 18% faster than a 70mm telescope
Mount AZ-1: This mount is very popular with beginners in astronomy because it is very easy to use. The entire telescope can be easily moved in azimuth and height. For you as a beginner, this has the advantage that you do not have to worry about aligning the telescope beforehand. Setting up the telescope is therefore very quick and easy: set up the tripod with the mount, hang the telescope and off you go!

The EclipseView series was launched by Meade specifically for the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, which was very visible in North America. Partial, ring-shaped or fatal solar eclipses are not uncommon globally. For example, there will be three solar eclipses and a Mercury transit in 2019. The light EclipseView telescopes fit in your luggage: make a solar eclipse your holiday destination!
