Description

Bresser Lyra 70/900 EQ-SKY Telescope is a small refractor that is very easy to use, even if you have no prior experience with a telescope. The equatorial mount the telescope is installed on is perfect for observing celestial objects, as it is equipped with a Red Dot finder for convenient navigation and only needs to be rotated about a single axis to follow the diurnal motion of the celestial sphere. The equatorial mount, as opposed to an azimuth one, when being hovered compensates for the rotation of the Earth and allows more precise tracking of astronomical objects, keeping them within sight through the eyepiece.

High-quality glass and a small focal ratio ensure exceptionally crisp and clear images with no aberrations. A long focal length achromatic objective lens ensures correct color rendering due to reduced chromatic aberrations.

The mount is installed on a folding aluminum tripod allowing you to adjust the height, so even a child can easily reach the eyepiece of this telescope. The tripod is also equipped with a convenient tray for accessories.

The high-quality optics and low weight of Bresser Lyra 70/900 EQ-SKY Telescope make it a perfect model for any aspiring astronomer.
