Skywatcher Evostar 102 on EQ3-2 - Refractor Telescope 102/1000 mm with Mount

Skywatcher Evostar 102 on EQ3-2 - Fraunhofer Refractor 102/1000 mm with equatorial Mount

A refractor with 102 mm aperture already offers enough resolution for lunar and planetary observations. On the other hand, there´s enough light to show thousands of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. With a focal ratio of f/10, the chromatic correction is very good.

The complete equipment of the BKR1021 and further advantages:

Well corrected, achromatic and multicoated objective in metal cell

Robust and improved 2" focuser with reducer for 1.25" eyepieces

T2 thread at the 1.25" reducer for direct camera adaptation

6x30 finder scope for quick target aquisition

2" star diagonal - accepts the big 2" wide field eyepieces directly

Two 1.25" eyepieces with 25 mm (40x) and 10 mm (100x)

Easy operation and quick setup with dovetail bar

Piggyback camera holder (1/4" tripod thread) on one tube ring for star field photography

The EQ3-2 mount:

The German equatorial mount EQ3-2, a further development of the EQ3, is a solid base for this refractor. An equatorial mount allows very easy celestial observations. A coarse polar alignment is enough for visual purposes and the telescope can track the stars by operating the R.A. knob only. Additionally, objects can be centered easily at high magnifications. Some advantages:

Precise manufacturing for precise tracking

Universal GP sadle plate for fast setup

Upgradable with polar finder scope and single-axis or dual-axis motor drive (see

"accessories" section) for astrophotography

Upgradable with GoTo capability for automatic locating the objects

A solid base: The aluminium profile field tripod:

A further specialty of this mount is the solid aluminium profile field tripod. The best mount is worthless when the tripod is not stiff enough. The height range reaches from 71 to 123 cm and can therefore be adapted to your individual needs.
