The telescope for beginners who finally want to experience celestial objects for themselves
As a fan of the cosmos you’d like to take a look beyond our borders. To see stars, planets and nebulae that give you an impression of the vastness of space? Now you can experience it - without yet being an expert on the sky. This entry-level telescope is easy to use, but so powerful that you can see nebulae that are many light years away. Your travels in the Universe begin now - from your balcony or garden.
The features at a glance:
- Experience sharp and clear views: with the parabolic primary mirror
- 1.25" focuser: you can connect other accessories at any time - even from other manufacturers
- Stable mount: because it makes observing more fun
- Trouble-free start in the sky: complete telescope with two eyepieces
- Quickly and successfully find objects with an illuminated LED finder
- Immediately recognise stars, planets and nebulae - even if you are an absolute beginner
To boost your view of the skies
You have surely looked at the stars on a balmy summer evening. But did you know that there are hundreds of objects hidden between the stars, that are waiting for you to discover? The parabolic mirror collects so much light that you will distinguish even weak objects in the eyepiece.
What can you see in the sky?
- Lunar craters: thousands of lunar craters, peaks and valleys: the Moon is full of things for you to see.
- Planets: Mercury, Jupiter or Saturn. The planets of the solar system are on our doorstep astronomically-speaking, and you will discover many details, such as the rings of Saturn.
- Globular star clusters: the oldest objects in our galaxy present themselves as balls of fog that dissipate only at their edges. They accommodate up to a million stars.
- Open star clusters: they sparkle like diamonds against the black night sky.
- Nebulae: brighter hydrogen nebulae and planetary nebulae.
LED finder: turn seeking into finding
What is your telescope pointing at? The LED finder projects a red dot which becomes your orientation point when you are looking for an object. With the finder and a star map you can master the art of searching for an object in no time.
The mount for observing without drama
Observing only turns into an experience with a sufficiently stable mount. The big plus: the EQ-320 reliably holds the tube and ensures a steady picture. Compared to similar telescopes, the EQ-320 offers a more solid base with minimal vibration.
Fine movement: smoothly follow the stars
If you have ever tried to capture an object with a photographic tripod, you’ll know how difficult it can become. However with this mount it’s easy: with the two axes you can set up any celestial object and, using the fine adjustment shafts, keep it in your field of view, despite the Earth's rotation. The operation is as relaxing as a summit tour in a cable car. The views with the telescope are just as good.
Feature of the EQ-320 mount
- Metal mount and aluminium tripod, so you start with a more stable foundation
- With the fine adjustment you keep each object in your eyepiece
- Easily adjustable geographical latitude, so that you can use your telescope in any location
- Large storage tray because accessories needs to be close to hand during the night
The telescope is ready for your very own journey of discovery into the Universe. Now you only need to get on board.
Included:
- Telescope with mount and tripod
- Red dot finder
- Two 1.25" eyepieces, 25mm and 10mm
Omegon carry case - Secure transportation for your telescope lenses
Not just pleasing to the eye... The Omegon carry case is very useful and protects your sensitive telescope lenses. The nylon exterior is robust and water-resistant.
Just imagine bashing the sensitive lens tube off something when transporting it “as is”. Or dropping the lens tube in the dew-soaked grass after an all-night observation session. It’s better to just use a case. There are many reasons to protect your telescope during transportation. For us, it is simply about still being able to use a top-performing telescope in 10 years because you handled it carefully.
Well padded for numerous telescopes
Omegon carry cases can be used for multiple telescope lens tubes. Generally, lens tubes with a focal length of up to 900mm and a diameter of around 150mm, or sized up to 25x93cm, fit inside. Internally, the case is padded on all sides and covered in black fleece material. If you set the case down a little too forcefully or hit it off anything, your telescope is protected from the force.
Space for accessories
The carry case features a separate zip-up net inside. This provides space for slim or lightweight accessories, such as records of the night’s observations, star maps, red light lamps or similar.
Two carrying modes - by hand or over the shoulder
You can carry the Omegon lens tube case either using the two handles or using the padded shoulder strap.
Tubes which fit inside include:
Omegon 114/900
Omegon 130/920
Omegon 150/750
Omegon 130/900
Skywatcher 150/750
Smaller telescope also fit but should preferably be protected with additional foam.
The advantages at a glance:
- Sturdy carry case made from tough nylon
- Protection when transporting your lens tube
- Water resistant
- Internal padding
