Skywatcher Mercury-705 on AZ3 Beginner Refractor Telescope - also as a viewing telescope and for school astronomy

The main advantages of the SKR 70 / 500mm on the AZ3

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 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 gastronomy.

Good solid mount with field stand - set up and get going, you can realize with this combination. Within 5 minutes the device is set up. The mount holds the refractor with high stability and even allows, with the flexible waves, a very accurate tracking of slowly moving objects (stars, planets, even astronomical objects ...). With the height-adjustable aluminum tripod, you can adjust any desired observation height up to approx. 160cm.
