Why do we consider the SkyWatcher 80/900 refractor one of the best choices for those considering a beginner's telescope purchase? The answer is simple: its optics provide a sharp image and require little maintenance. Another advantage is that it comes with a very rich standard equipment, so it has a very good price/performance ratio.
Ideal for budding planet-watchers
With its outstanding contrast and sharp imaging, the magnificent ring of Saturn and the Cassini knife it reveals will give you an unforgettable experience. Jupiter's swirling cloud bands and the Great Red Spot are not hidden from the observer's eye. Of course, the silvery shimmering lunar disk and its sea of craters will also be a fascinating sight. In addition, the telescope offers a wealth of colourful binaries and sparkling star clusters.
Rich features
The telescope comes with 25 and 10 mm Super Bárium eyepieces, providing magnification of 36x and 90x, respectively. A 6x30 finder scope is provided for sky alignment, and a zenith mirror for comfortable use of the telescope.
EQ-2 mount: simple but great
The EQ-2 mount is equipped with fine adjustment, allowing you to follow the sky with your telescope easily and smoothly, even manually. The optional EQ-2 motor also makes it easy: it automatically keeps the target in sight for longer periods of time. The eyepiece tray holds a variety of accessories or even a mug of hot tea. And the extendable aluminium foot can be adjusted to your height.
