Telescope Omegon 130/920 Newton on EQ-2 with accessories

The Omegon 130/920 uses a proven design for 300 years, named after its inventor and first user: Isaak Newton. Especially for beginners and young people a very original and suitable implementation of technical sky observation.
Newtonian telescopes are particularly popular because they have more light output in the same price range due to their larger aperture, such as lens telescopes (refractors).
Furthermore, these telescopes provide a clear picture.

Thus, the Omegon 130/920 as a beginner instrument has a fairly large aperture with long focal length (f7) and is suitable for both beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moonshine on Jupiter or its big red spot) but also for interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, open double star cluster (h and chi) in Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81. Because the telescope collects 344 times more light than the human eye and allows a 260x (meaningful) magnification.

Telescope Omegon for stars and planets

The telescope is supplied with an EQ2 mount, with manual fine adjustment and a corresponding counterweight for optimal balance of the optics. Together with the LED red dot finder, beginners can easily and intuitively find and track the desired objects.
The accompanying aluminum tripod is height-adjustable and can be adapted to different body sizes and "grows" so to speak.

The equipment with T2 thread for the connection of a SLR camera, allows first experiments in astrophotography, such. Moon crater.

 
Product advantages:

+ Ideal for older children (from approx. 12 years) and beginners
+ Suitable for high-contrast lunar and planetary observation and
   also lighter deep-sky objects
+ Size opening over refractors in the same price range for more light collection performance
+ Fine adjustment and LED red dot finder facilitate inutitive finding and
   Tracking (balancing the Earth's rotation) of objects
+ Tripod height adjustable
+ Cheap in purchase



To note:

- Not suitable for landscape observations.
  For this we recommend a refractor in this price range.
- Not suitable for extensive astrophotography.
- For lunar and planetary observation, we also recommend a Barlow lens or an additional eyepiece with about 5mm focal length.
- In addition, we recommend a lunar filter to protect the eyes and lunar observation
  for better contrast.
- Field tripod needed after touching / vibration 4-6 sec. Release time for
  a "wobble-free" observation
