The SkyWatcher StarQuest 90/1250 MacSutov-Cassegrain binoculars are for those who value performance, portability and ease of use in a telescope. The short tube and lightweight mechanics make the instrument easy to carry. Thanks to its long focus, you can achieve the same magnifications as with refractors of similar size, without all the drawbacks of a long tube.
The 90 mm diameter MC telescope is the ideal instrument for the demanding beginner. The excellent optics show the surface details of the Moon and planets with exceptional sharpness and contrast - up to 180x magnification. The famous Cassini slit in Saturn's ring and Jupiter's Red Spot are all within reach. On favourable days, you can also see the white snowcap and rusty-brown surface of Mars.
The SkyWatcher 90/1250 MC telescope comes with a 25 mm and a 10 mm barium eyepiece in addition to a zenith mirror, providing magnification of 50x and 125x. A starpointer is included in the standard package to make it easy to align the celestial bodies. And thanks to the T2 thread at the end of the telescope, you can also connect a camera.
The new StaQuest equatorial mechanism is lightweight at just 1.2 kg, yet strong enough to move telescope tubes weighing under 3 kg. Its large 122-tooth worm gear wheel allows unobstructed fine movement through 360° on both axes. And the extendable tripod, which can be adjusted to your body height, adds significantly to its stability, with an eyepiece holder tray on which you can conveniently place your sighting accessories. Although the mechanism is designed for equatorial use, it can also be used in azimuthal mode, if necessary, by placing it in a horizontal position.
