Skywatcher - Skymax-90 EQ-1 Maksutov-Cassegrain

Maksutov Cassegrain 90/1250 EQ-1

The Skymax 90 Maksutov Mirror Telescope is a very compact telescope for
terrestrial and sky Observing. In combination with the EQ-1 Table Top
Mount it´s a really compact combination which offers much fun with
observing.

Optic and Tube

Free aperture 90 mm, focal length 1250 mm,
light gathering power 170x against naked eye, resolution 1.28". This
Maksutov has a really sharp optic and a brilliant and colorfree image.
The tube is very sturdy. The focus will be adjusted via a Main Mirror
Focuser.

EQ-1 Mount

The small equatorial mount EQ-1 is sturdy
enough, to carry the telescope vibration free. With the fine adjustments
in RA and DEC it is possible to track the objects and with the setting
circles and coordinates you can find difficult objects easily and fast.
With the polar height and azimuth adjustment you can align the mount
exactly to the north pole. The telescope will be fitted with only one
screw at the mount, so you do not need any tools.

The Observation


With the Skymax 90 you can observe many details on the moon like crater,
mountain ranges or grooves and on the planet Venus you can see the
phases like crescent Venus or half Venus. On Jupiter you can observe the
cloud bands and the 4 largest moons, at Saturn you will see the rings.
Milky Way will show thousands of stars, double stars and Open and
Globular Star Clusters. Also this telescope shows many Planetary Nebulae
and Emission Nebulae like  the Orion Nebula, and you can observe the
brightest Galaxies.
But also for terrestrial observations this Skymax
is a perfect solution. Regardless of whether you will watch landscapes
or animals, this telescope will show you a very sharp and brilliant
image.

Photography

With optional T2 Adapter Rings you can adapt
all DSLR Cameras. Thus you can photograph the moon or sun (Attention:
only with a safe Solar Filter). With full format DSLR cameras vignetting will occur, therefor for these cameras the larger 102
mm and 127 mm models are better.
With an optional eyepiece projection adapter you can also photograph smaller objects like planets.
For photography you need an optional motor set.
