More about the product
The SkyWatcher 70/500 telescope has a compact size, easy to use, and provides good image quality. The spirit of the telescope, the objective lens already has the construction of larger refractors. The Fraunhofer type air spaced achromatic objective gives excellent image quality, the image is clear and sharp. The telescope set is very lightweight so it is very suitable for observing brighter deep-sky objects. All glass-air surfaces of the optic have fully multi coatings to ensure maximum image contrast and light transmission.
You can
see small details on the Moon, on the planets (of course, the Saturn's
ring looks nice), magnification can be increased (up to about 120x)
without the image becoming dim. Beside the Moon, you can see Jovian
Galilei-moons and Saturn's giant moon Titan. Beside bright objects some
deep-sky objects cane be observed well.
The package contains two Barium eyepieces (10 and 25mm), giving magnifications of 20x and 50x, but additional standard eyepieces can be used for the entire recommended zoom range up to about 12-125x. An accessory 90 degree star diagonal makes observing with the telescope convenient. The 31.7 mm standard size focuser has T2 thread.
During the development of the new CQ40 equatorial mount, the goal was to obtain a high load capacity while reducing size and weight. By changing the geometry, the result was an extremely light and compact, yet stable mechanical head. The weight of the head is only 1 kg, and its load capacity is 4 kg. Thanks to the standard prism rail connection, mounting and dismounting the telescope is quick and easy. Fixing and releasing the axles is very convenient thanks to the large, handy fixing discs (brakes). Both axes have slow motion controls, so it is very easy to center and track the celestial bodies. The mechanical head is placed on a light aluminum tripod, which is easily fixed with a screw. The tripod can be extended, so the height of the telescope can be adjusted to the desired height. There is an eyepiece tray between the tripods, which is practical for smaller accessories. It can be installed and removed easily.
