 Product Description

The KSON KTA40080KM-EQ2 refractor Telescope is mounted on a German Equatorial mount. The mount features solid construction, setting circles and locking knobs in declination and right ascension, counter balance shaft and weights, latitude adjuster, and slow motion controls with detachable flex cables in both axis. A motor drive can also be attached for added tracking capability (motor drive sold separately). Polar scope can be inserted for precise Polaris alignment for better tracking purpose when using motor drive. Azimuth micro-adjustment system is a standard feature for easy and quick North alignment. The Mount is attached to a very sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. The telescope attaches to the EQ2 mount by an adjustable tube clamp which in combination with the adjustable counter balance weights ensures easy fluid movement of the telescope at all times.

It has a resolving power of 1.61 arc seconds. The optical tube assembly is diffraction limited at λ/4 (1/4 wave in Sodium light). The finderscope is KSON’s RED DOT electronic Finder which helps by getting the observer behind the telescope without losing the surrounding field of view when targeting objects.
