Skywatcher BK 1149 EQ2 telescope

Mirror telescope with an objective diameter of 114 mm and a focal length of 900 mm.

It collects about 190x more light than the human eye at night and allows observing objects up to nearly 12 stellar magnitudes. It will prove useful for observing planets, nebulae and galaxies. This telescope model is a particularly good choice for beginner observers of the night sky.

The EQ2 parallactic mount with micromotion allows the telescope to be easily adjusted according to the sky map and to move smoothly in the axis of rectascension and declination. In EQ2, the head is improved with respect to EQ1 and features better stability and higher load capacity. It is possible to additionally equip the mount with actuators to automatically follow a specific object. The eyepiece focuser allows the use of 1.25" eyepieces. Two eyepieces with a focal length of 25 mm and 10 mm are included.
