A Big Refractor on a Serious Mount! The SkyView Pro 120
- The next generation of high-end refracting telescope without the high-end price tag
- 120mm aperture and 1000mm focal length for jaw-dropping deep sky, planetary, and lunar views
- Includes two eyepieces, finder scope, focuser, diagonal, and FREE Starry Night astronomy software
- One-year limited warranty
With 120mm of clear aperture and 1000mm focal length, the Orion SkyView Pro 120mm Equatorial Refractor Telescope has the magnifying ability to split 2-arcsecond double stars and reveal subtle lunar and planetary features. With less chromatic aberration than short-focal-length achromatic refractors, the SkyView Pro 120mm provides pleasing star images with a minimum of color fringing.
It's the perfect refractor telescope for digital imaging. Pop on an Orion StarShoot Solar System imaging camera and you're all set to capture spectacularly detailed shots of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and lunar landscapes galore!
The telescope features a multi-coated 120mm (4.7") achromatic objective lens in an adjustable cell.
The 2" aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser (with 1.25" adapter) allows use of optional 2" telescope eyepieces. The tube rides on the sturdy SkyView Pro equatorial telescope mount, which has a stainless steel tripod for superior rigidity. Standard accessories include an 8x40 finder scope, star diagonal, and two Sirius Plossl telescope eyepieces.
The Orion SkyView Pro 120mm Equatorial Refractor Telescope can be upgraded at any time to GoTo computerized object location. You can also add the IntelliScope Upgrade Kit for computer-assisted manual object-location. This standard configuration is compatible with optional TrueTrack electronic drives, allowing objects to be tracked after they are located.
One-year limited warranty.
