Skywatcher Capricorn-70 EQ1 - 70 mm Refractor on EQ1 Mount
A fine entry-level telescope for beginners from six years

The Skywatcher Capricorn-70 EQ1 is a complete telescope system for the beginner. It already gathers 100x more light than the naked eye and resolves fine detail. Observe the lunar craters, the phase of Venus or the rings of Saturn. Its apterture of 70 mm shows also interesting objects beyond our solar system, for example double stars, star clusters and emission nebulae.

While daytime, the refractor can be used like a spotting scope: It shows many interesting objects and the image delivered is sharp and contrasty.

The Capricorn-70 EQ1 advantages:
Excellent price / value relation
Sharp multi-coated objective with 70mm aperture
Useful magnification up to ca. 140x without disturbing colour fringes
Solid 1.25" focuser with locking screw and T2 photo thread
EQ1 German equatorial mount - can be equipped with a tracking motor
umfangreiches Zubehör für sofortiges erfolgreiches Beobachten.
Useful accessories to start observing directly


The EQ1 German equatorial mount:
The telescope is supplied with the EQ1 equatorial mount which, when polar aligned, will allow you to easily track objects as they move across the night sky via its slow motion control cables. For quick slewing, the axes can be unlocked.

The supplied aluminium tripod is height adjustable and has an accessory tray.

A special feature of this mount is that you can also use it like an alt-azimuth mount and thus easily move to terrestrial objects.

The EQ1 can grow with your rising demands: If you want to take photos of celestial objects (camera piggyback on one of the tube rings) or just prefer more comfort, the EQ1 can be equipped with a tracking motor. If the mount is polar aligned, the objects will stay centred in the field of view.
