Telescope Opticon Galaxy

Astronomical, lenticular telescope with a diameter of 150 mm. The large focal length of up to 1400 mm makes it easy to achieve high magnifications.

Made of durable alloy, the telescope's tube sits on a full-size aluminium tripod suspended from an EQ-III parallactic mount, which helps to find objects in the sky accurately based on coordinates read from an atlas. 

The maximum magnification is 430x and the high-quality lenses allow observation of the relief on the lunar surface - mountains, valleys, seas and craters.

Excellent image contrast makes it possible to observe cloud belts on the planet's surface, as well as Saturn's rings.

A special interchangeable contrast filter improves the image quality during the full Moon, and the included Barlow lens doubles the available magnification range.

The telescope comes with sky maps and a leaflet with a QR code. The code, when scanned, gives access to a website where you can find additional digital material from the Young Explorer's Starter Pack.

The equipment is designed to support professional standard 1.25' components, allowing the kit to be gradually expanded with additional accessories.

Thanks to the included straightening lens, the telescope can be used as a spotting scope for nature and landscape observations (bird, aircraft or distant building observations).
