Luna 2 - 60mm Refractor
Entry-level telescope with a particularly complete set of accessories (motor drive, Plossl eyepieces)

The Moon as it can be seen through this telescope.

Luna 2 - a good quality telescope for beginners - particularly easy to use

If you want to begin with the wonderful hobby of amateur astronomy you will need a telescope with a complete set of accessories. At the same time the telescope shouldn't cost much.

Our new refractor LUNA 2 is the answer: It offers good optics, good quality accessories and above all it is very easy to use. Supplied with a manual in English language you will be enjoying the beauty of the night sky in no time.

Observing with the Luna 2
With our LUNA 2 refractor telescope you will see countless craters and ridges on our moon. Try pointing the telescope at the “terminator“ - the dividing line between darkness and light on the moon. There the many beautiful craters appear almost three-dimensionally, you will feel as if you actually were there!

Not only the moon is a wonderful object in this telescope. The planets of our solar system reveal many small details: The rings of Saturn, the atmospheric bands of Jupiter, the crescent shape of Venus. All this can be seen in our LUNA 2 refractor.

Showpiece deep sky objects like the famous Orion nebula or the Andromeda nebula can be observed with this telescope. In addition you will see a multitude of double stars, star clusters, planetary nebulae etc.

Photography
The Luna's good 1.25" focuser and the motor drive are the basis for astronomical photography. Nearly everything you need is already included in the basic set! You will only need a proper adaptation, then you can use your existing digital or classical camera for astro-photography. Just let us know which camera you wish to use and we will make an offer for the proper adaptation.

An automatic motor drive is included!

The motor compensates for the earth's movement around its own axis. An object will always remain centered in your eyepiece. This will make observing much more comfortable and is the basis for astronomical photography.

Starpointer LED Red Dot Finder

Not just a cheap finderscope with plastic lenses - the starpointer projects a small red dot onto the sky at the precise location where your telescope is pointed. A red dot finder is incredibly simple to use, a big plus especially for beginners!

Very good optical accessories

You will not save money at the wrong end - in our Luna 2 we included a complete set of accessories - just begin observing immediately!

- Plossl Okulare 20mm (45x) & 10mm (90x) - not just cheap Huygens or Ramsdens
- Star diagonal 1.25" - for a comfortable viewing position
- 1.5x erecting lens and 3x Barlow lens

The Mount and the Tripod

The mount is the basis of any telescope. A cheap mount will only serve to cause frustration. The EQ-1 offers enough stability to carry the telescope with ease and offers smooth slow-motion controls in both axes.

The adjustable height aluminium tripod is very light and easy to carry. At the same time it offers more than enough stability for the mount and the telescope.

Jupiter 1 - Refractor 70mm Aperture / 900mm Focal Length
A very nice entry level telescope - high contrast and image quality - good mechanical stability.

The Refractor Jupiter 1 is an ideal entry into the world of amateur astronomy.

It offers everything that an entry level telescope should have: A sufficiently large lens, very sharp image quality, colour correction almost as good as in an ED objective of similar size (which would cost several times as much, though), high portability, a good price.

Above all this telescope is very easy to use.

Advantages of this Telescope:

Image Quality Particularly sharp images - not only for lunar and planetary observations sharpness and contrast are very impressive - you will also enjoy the excellent image quality on star clusters, ... Even at high magnifications stars are depicted as small pinpoints.

No matter which magnification (within the theoretical limits), moon will always be an impressive view with its countless craters, ridges, ... Planets reveal many details. The rings of Saturn, Jupiter's cloud belts and Great Red Dot, the phases of Venus.

With the proper filters (Baader Astro-Solar) you will be able to do joyful and above all save observations of our sun.

Mechanical Stability Very high mechanical stability - By looking at the image above you already see that the Astro-3 mount is properly sized for a telescope of this class. You will not suffer from the frustrating vibrations common in many cheap telescopes. Even at high magnifications you will easily find focus and will be able to track the movement of the objects.

Simple Operation Quick setup - this is the motto of the Jupiter 1. The telescope remains collimated at all times and can be put to use instantaneously. No need to wait until the telescope has cooled down, or to perform any kind of collimation procedure.

Even children will be able to use this telescope after a short introduction by the parents.

The adjustable height aluminium tripod allows you to adjust the telescope for your height.

The telescope is robust and will not be destroyed if you don't put perfect care in its operation.

Quick Assembly A Quick Release Device is used to attach the telescope to the mount. You need no tools for putting the tube onto the mount and you will be observing within seconds. Disassembling the telescope is just as easy.

Many Accessories Upgradability is a key feature of this telescope. The focuser is a true 1.25" model. You can use any of a broad range of accessories - camera adaptations, further eyepieces for different magnifications, filters, ...

The Astro-3 mount can be upgraded with a stepper motor or even with a motor drive with hand paddle. Then you will no longer need to track the objects yourself, the motor will keep it centered automatically.

The refractor Jupiter 1 is therefore a versatile and well chosen telescope for beginners. It also resembles a very nice second telescope for people who already own a larger telescope, but want something less complicated and quicker to set up. The telescope is very portable.

6x30 Finderscope
The large finderscope helps you to find the objects of choice. It has a crosshair inside to make pointing the telescope easier.

Rich-Field Refractor: Aperture 90mm / Focal Length 500mm

Refractor: Aperture 90mm / Focal Length 900mm

Rich-Field Refractor 90/500mm
Powerful large-aperture rich-field refractor - 90mm have never been more compact!

TS Rich Field Refractor 90mm Aperture - 500mm Focal Length

For many amateur astronomers portability is a major concern for the choice of their telescope. Our TS 90/500mm refractor is still a very compact and universal telescope, despite its 26% more light gathering capacity compared with 80mm refractors. If you want to do Rich-field observations ( = as large as possible fields of view) this is the way to go! With a fully retracted focuser the tube is only 46cm long (approx. 18")! It will fit into any suitcase - perfect for airline travel. The overall weight of the optical tube complete with finderscope, star diagonal and eyepiece is only 1.8kgs!

In addition to its excellent portability the compact dimensions and low weight mean that the Astro-3 carries the refractor with a very good stability. Even good photographical tripods will hold the refractor solidly. For this purpose the dovetail plate of the TS refractor has an integrated 1/4" photo-thread - nearly all photo tripods have this connection thread!

Astronomical Observations:
90mm free aperture will show many nebulae and galaxies in detail. The beautiful Veil Nebula is a wonderful view to be seen, especially with narrowband nebular filters. Many open clusters of stars can be seen, especially in the region of the milky way. This is where this refractor excels! Compared with the 80mm rich-field refractors this telescope collects 26% more light, translating into brighter images and more details in all objects.

On the moon you will be able to see many craters and mountain ranges. The large planets of our solar system can be observed in detail. For bright objects like the moon and the planets we recommend the use of a light yellow colour filter. This will reduce the refractor's false colour and enhance contrast and visibility of small details.

Photography:
An adaptor for photography is included in the scope of delivery. Just screw it onto the focuser instead of the standard 1.25" clamp. With this adaptor you can attach all common SLR cameras to the telescope, you will only need a T2 ring which we offer for most cameras.

This will turn the telescope into a telephoto lens with a focal length of 500mm at f/5.

Of course you can also use your digital camera with this telescope. Just send a request by E-mail or contact us on the phone and we will offer a solution for your particular camera!

If you equip your mount with a motor drive you can expect encouraging results in the field of astronomical photography.

Refractor 90 / 900mm - SOLD - We now offer the Celestron 90/1000mm instead. Presentation coming soon
A wonderful instrument for those new to astronomy who do not want to compromise performance.

Refractor, 90mm Aperture, 900mm Focal Length
The refractor 90/900 Astro-3 is a wonderful instrument for amateurs looking for a versatile, all purpose telescope at a reasonable price. Many objects can be observed in beautiful detail due to the refractor's good contrast and its aperture of 90mm. On the whole, this is one of the best choices for beginners.

In addition this telescope will last a lifetime. Even if you buy a larger, more powerful instrument later on the TS Refractor 90/900 will be a perfect "grab-and-go" telescope and a wonderful companion for travels.

Astronomical Observations:
The refractor's long focal ratio makes it an excellent performer on the moon and the planets. Even at high magnifications you will not notice an image breakdown, as long as you do not exceed the theoretical limit of 180x. You will be able to see fine details on Jupiter and Saturn, as well as tiny craterlets on the face of the moon. You will feel as if you were walking on the moon's surface yourself.

Beyond our solar system the aperture of 90mm will reveal many objects, from bright globular clusters (which are already being dissolved into single stars near the rim) to gas nebulae - like the Great Orion Nebula. The well-known ring-nebula in Lyra will appear as a fine ring of smoke surrounded by pinpoint stars.

The images below will give you a rough impression of what you can expect to see with this refractor.


Jupiter Atmospheric bands and the Great Red Spot as well as the famous Galilean moons are easily visible.	Saturn Saturn's famous rings will be easily seen, under good seeing conditions you may even see the Cassini division and the largest of Saturn's moons.	Moon Craters, mountain ranges and ridges can be seen in splendid details. Our recommendation: Try watching the moon close to half moon. Then the details will stand out almost plastically!	Gas Nebulae, Star clusters and Galaxien Hundreds of these objects are within the range of this powerful telescope. While it is not a specialised deep-sky instrument many of these objects will reveal details upon details

Astronomical Imaging:
With this telescope you can already do astronomical photography within certain limits. Photographies of the moon and the planets (especially using the Philips ToUCam pro) will show as many details as you can see directly - which is a lot.

A standardised adaptor for cameras is already included. Just remove the standard 1.25" eyepiece holder and attach the tube with a T2 outside thread. This turns the TS refractor into a powerful telephoto lens with a focal length of 900mm at f/10.

Thus equipped you will be able to get encouraging results both of terrestrial objects and of celestial objects. For astro-imaging you need to equip the Astro-3 mount with the optional motor drive.

Adaptors for eyepiece projection (used for higher magnification imaging) are also available.

Skywatcher Refractor - Aperture 102mm / Focal Length 1000mm

A good quality beginner's telescope with good optical and mechanical quality.

Skywatcher refractor 102/1000 on EQ3 - a good combination for beginners.

This refractor's longer focal ratio brings along a further reduced chromatic aberration (false colour) compared to the f/5 version, thus enhancing the image quality on the moon and the planets. You can use high magnifications up to the theoretical limit of 200x without distracting false colour. There will be some remaining false colour, but this can be cut off by the use of a light yellow filter.

Despite this, the telescope is still well suited for deep-sky observations. Using 1.25" eyepieces you will get a true field of view of up to 1.6° - more than three times the moon's diameter. 2" accessories will offer even wider fields of view.

Photographically, you will get wonderful results with the moon and the planets. The smooth 2" focuser allows for precise focusing and will keep even heavy accessories precisely in position.

Features:
- Collimatable metal lens cell

Refractor - Aperture 120mm / Focal Length 600mm

Rich Field Refractor 120/600mm on AZ-3 alt-azimuth mount.
An ultra-portable combination for easy travelling.

Until recently it was next to impossible to produce fast rich field refractors of such a large aperture at a reasonable price. Only modern machines make this possible. Now it is possible to offer such a fast telescope at an affordable price and with a colour correction that will allow magnifications slightly beyond 100x without too much false colour.

This turns the 120mm rich field telescope into a very popular, very compact and thus highly portable telescope.

Visual Use:
This is a true rich field telescope. It combines a large aperture of 120mm with a very short focal length for large fields of view. Just enjoy "walking" through the milky-way with its star clusters and gas nebulae, all of which embedded in myriads of background stars. Or have a look at the Great Andromeda Galaxy which can be seen in splendid detail!

Watching the planets or the moon is not the strong point of this telescope. False colour will be prominent around those objects. With our TS CC 1 variable colour filter you can reduce the fringe of course, then some successful planetary and lunar observations are possible.

Astro-Imaging:
This telescope also resembles a very powerful tele lens with a focal length of 600mm at f/5. High quality deep sky images are possible. We do recommend to use a Violet Reduction filter to reduce false colour and a field flattening lens to get a sharper image throughout the field if you use a DLSR camera (recommended cameras)

Further Information

Solid Mount for Astro-Imaging

The Astro-5 DX equatorial mount offers enough stability and power reserves for a guide scope next to the main telescope. This is the basis for successful long exposure astro-imaging.

An illuminated polar scope is included. The mount can be upgraded with a dual axis motor drive or even GoTo.

Refractor - Aperture 120mm / Focal Length 1000mm

Refractor 120/1000mm - an excellent telescope for demanding observers who enjoy the deep sky as well as the planets.

The refractor with an aperture of 120mm and 1000mm focal length is one of the closest things to a universal telescope there is. It performs gallantly in nearly all applications, be it visual observing of the planets, the deep sky or astro imaging.

The telescope is still quite portable for field use.

Visual Use:
With a moderate focal ratio of f/8.3 the telescope exhibits some false colour, but the effect is still very moderate. We can recommend the telescope even for planetary observing. Of course a TS CC 1 variable colour filter helps to reduce this potential problem to a minimum. With that help and under good seeing conditions the Cassini division in Saturn's rings or details on Mars' surface are easily visible.

Beyond our solar system many thousand objects are within reach of this telescope. With 2" eyepieces you can get very large true fields of view for joyous strolls through the milky-way with its open clusters and nebulae. Famous nebulae like the Veil nebula can be seen in detail (here we recommend the Astronomik UHC filter for a large gain in contrast).

Magnifications as high as 150x are possible with no loss in contrast. This makes the ring nebula M57 and other planetary nebulae an interesting target for this telescope.

Astro-Imaging:
Another area in which this telescope performs very well is astro-iimaging. The telescope will offer high resolution images of the moon and planets, e.g. with a Philips webcam. Fine structures can be seen on the moon that are beyond reach of smaller instruments.

Deep Sky imaging is also possible. For this we recommend to use a Canon modified DSLR camera and a field flattening lens for optimal performance.

The 2" Focuser:
The 2" focuser with 1.25" adaptor allows you to use all common astronomical eyepieces. You can also use professional 2" accessories and adaptors.

The focuser can be locked in position for long exposure astro-imaging.

Recommended Magnifications: 25x to 240x

Accessories:
8x50 viewfinder.
In the complete set with mount we also include a 1.25" star diagonal and two eyepieces (Super 10mm and 20mm)

Multi-coated lens in collimatable cell for optimized image quality

Refractor - Aperture 150mm / Focal Length 750mm

Rich Field Refractor 150/750mm on H-EQ5 equatorial mount - a sturdy combination for visual and photographical use.

Skywatcher offers one of the largest affordable f/5 rich field refractors on the market. This telescope is an extreme comet catcher - it offers very large fields of view - particularly with 2" accessories - at a refractor-like high contrast. With its short tube length of only about 80cm it is very portable despite its weight of 11kgs.

Visual Use:
This is a true rich field telescope. It is particularly suited for all kinds of extended objects like large galaxies, gas nebulae, star clusters, comets, ... With its refractor-like contrast you will see pinpoint stars. The aesthetic views through such a telescope are highly addictive!

On the down side this telescope is not particularly suited for viewing the moon and the planets. With a yellow filter or with the TS CC 1 variable colour filter you will still be able to see lots of details on these objects. Tip: You should stop down the telescope to about 120mm aperture - that way you get a better contrast, reduced false colour and more image sharpness.

Astro-Imaging:
Good nebular filters or violet reduction filters are required, but then you get a very powerful telephoto lens with an enormous focal length of 750mm at f/5. This will allow you to take high resolution images of galaxies with their spiral structure, or of gas nebulae.

The 2" Focuser:
The 2" focuser with 1.25" adaptor allows you to use all common astronomical eyepieces. You can also use professional 2" accessories and adaptors.

The focuser can be locked in position for long exposure astro-imaging.

Recommended Magnifications: 25x to 240x (from around 100x we recommend to use the TS CC 1 variable colour filter for reduction of false colour.)

Accessories:

Refractor - Aperture 150mm / Focal Length 1200mm

Refractor 150/1200mm on equatorial mount EQ6 - a very stable combination.

Achromat 150/1200mm on CAM GoTo - the tube colour is blue, not black as depicted.
Until recently 150mm aperture refractors have been reserved to observatories and a few really rich people. Chinese mass-production has attempted to change this for some time. Recently the production quality of the Chinese manufacturers has reached a very good level, while at the same time prices have remained much lower than would be possible for production within Europe.

The 150mm refractor with 1200mm focal length is at the upper limit of what can be called portable. The tube is some 125cm long and weighs about 12kgs.

Other than the shorter focal length rich field refractor this model is suited for all astronomical observations.

Visual Use:
This refractor is a high performance telescope for observations of objects within our solar system. Jupiter's moons become small discs of different size rather than just points of light. Mars reveals many details including its polar caps (filters are always recommended when viewing Mars). Moon is of course a particular highlight, with countless craters, ridges and other details that make you feel like you actually were there!

Outside our solar system 150mm aperture offer plenty of light for serious deep sky work. You can watch gas nebulae, globular clusters (dissolved into single stars) and many galaxies. We recommend to use 2" accessories for extended deep sky objects - you will then not only see the object itself, but also many surrounding stars for a more aesthetic image.

Astro-Imaging:
The telescope is suited both for planetary and lunar imaging (e.g. with a webcam) and long exposure deep sky imaging. We recommend to invest in a very sturdy mount to accomodate the heavy and long tube.

Specifications:
Aperture 150mm ... Focal Length 1200mm ... Focal Ratio f/8
Fraunhofer air-spaced doublet achromat
Tube length: Approx. 125cm
Tube weight: Approx. 12kgs

2" Focuser:
The 2" with its 1.25" adaptor allows you to use all common 1.25" and 2" eyepieces and accessories. A locking screw will fix the focuser in position for long exposure astro-imaging.

Recommended Magnifications:
30x to 300x. For magnifications beyond 150x you should use colour filters or the TS CC 1 variable colour filter to reduce false colour.

Accessories:
Powerful 8x50 quick release finderscope, 1.25" star diagonal, 20mm and 10mm Super Kellner eyepieces (diagonal and eyepieces not available with the OTA version)

TS RFT 805 - 80/500mm .... Compact All Purpose Telescope

Very good optical and mechanical quality, beautiful and practical design.
This telescope offers nearly unlimited joy for observing and astro-imaging.

TS RFT 805 on the Astro-5 equatorial mount - an excellent and very sturdy combination for astro-imaging. Suited for use of heavy accessories.
Further Information on the Astro-5

We designed the TS RFT 805 to be one of the most versatile compact telescopes at a very affordable price. Both optical and mechanical quality are very good, making the telescope an excellent choice for demanding birdwatchers and amateur astronomers alike.

Nature Observing - A Compact All Purpose Spotting Scope
The RFT 805 features a high quality achromatic objective with an aperture of 80mm and a focal length of 500mm. The image is bright and contrasty. You can choose magnifications between 10x and 150x.

The excellent and ultra-smooth focuser accepts both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces. With 2" eyepieces you can get a true field of view of over 5°!
At the same time you can reach high magnifications suitable for studying small details in distant objects. The feathers of a distant bird, people climbing in the mountains, ...

Astronomical Observing - An All Purpose Rich Field Telescope
The RFT 805 is an excellent Rich Field Telescope. Fields of view of over 5° let you wander through the milky-way and observe extended structures. Even the enormous Andromeda nebula will easily fit into the field of view in all its beauty!

Due to its excellent achromatic objective you can reach high magnifications up to about 150x. For magnifications beyond 120x we recommend the use of a light yellow colour filter or the Baader Fringe Killer filter. These filters reduce the residual false colour and thus enhance contrast and image sharpness for successful lunar and planetary observing.

Photography - A Powerful Telephoto Lens
Thanks to the excellent 2" Crayford focuser the RFT is ideally suited for photographical use. It offers sharp and contrasty images.

The RFT 805 is a powerful tele lens with a focal length of 500mm and a focal ratio of f/6.25. The 35mm film format is fully illuminated. The RFT excels for nature photography and surpasses some expensive telelenses when it comes to light gathering power.

Astronomical imaging is another strong point of this telescope. With the optional 0.8x reducer / field flattening lens you get short exposure times, very large fields of view and pinpoint stars towards the edge of the film / chip format.

A compact and powerful setup for nature observing, birdwatching and quick grab-and-go astronomical observing: The TS RFT 805 on the camera tripod XT ... Further Information on the Tripod XT

Excellent image quality - 2" Crayford Focuser (360° rotatable) - tube can be shortened for use of binocular viewers or special photographical equipment

The RFT 1007 is an extremely portable all purpose telescope. If you primarily want to observe with the RFT and enjoy ultimate ease of use we recommend the combination with the GIRO II (German) (see image)

The TS RFT 1007 clearly sets itself apart from the many Chinese refractors, both in terms of quality, design and included accessories. The mechanical quality of the tube is particularly high. The tube is assembled in Germany. We find the versatility of this instrument particularly stunning!

For many amateurs this telescope is certainly more interesting than a simple 100mm ED with its limited possibilities.

Solar System
The RFT 1007 uses a very high quality Fraunhofer objective. False colour is very small - some even offer this as "Semi APO" objective. Fact of the matter is that this lens shows how good a Fraunhofer achromat can be.

Up to approx. 130x you will get a very good image quality and little false colour on the moon and the planets. Image sharpness remains even in high magnifications up to approx. 200x. In order to minimize false colour we recommend the use of the Baader Semi APO Filter.

Deep Sky
100mm aperture, coupled with a sharp image quality, offer a surprising performance for observing nebulae and galaxies. Pinpoint stars throughout the visible field and the solid, smooth 2" Crayford focuser offer a fully illuminated true field of view of almost 4° - eight times the diameter of the full moon! Can you imagine a better comet catcher?

Easy Use of Binocular Viewers - Without Glass Path Corrector!
The rear part of the tube consists of a full diameter extension tube that can be screwed off. You get 120mm additional back focus! This allows you to use all standard binocular viewers without the need of Glass Path Correctors.

The deluxe tube rings of the RFT 1007 are made of aluminium. A GP / EQ compatible dovetail plate with camera tripod thread is included.

Astro Imaging With Focal Reducers - No Problem at all!
Astro imaging with CCD cameras is becoming ever more popular. The only disadvantage is that a typical CCD chip is too small to catch extended objects. With a strong focal reducer on the other hand you often don't get into focus with most telescopes, there is no sufficient back focus.

With the RFT 1007 this is no problem - just remove the rear part of the tube for another 120mm of back focus. You can use strong focal reducers without a problem.

Compact Dimensions - Ideal for Airline Travelling
With a shortest tube length of 45cm the RFT 1007 fits in any carry on luggage. The telescope can be split into three separate parts:

Objective lens and front tube part	45cm length
Extension tube	12cm length
Focuser	13cm length

Split Tube
The tube can be shortened easily and without any tools. First you screw off the focuser with its large knurled nut. Then you unscrew the rear part of the tube. After that you only need to screw on the focuser again. You have turned the RFT 1007 into a telescope with an additional 120mm back focus for easy adaptation of extreme accessories such as binocular viewers.

The extension tube has the same diameter as the main tube. That way you can pull the tube rings back over the extension tubes for balancing heavy accessories.

Easy Use of Binocular Viewers - Without Glass Path Corrector!

The rear part of the tube can be unscrewed for an additional 120mm of back focus. This allows you to use all standard binocular viewers without glass path corrector.

You will get the full field of view for deep sky observing - only limited by the binocular viewer itself. The unwanted focal extension caused by glass path correctors is eliminated.

On the moon and the planets as well as for nature observing you will notice a gain in image quality and contrast by eliminating this unneccessary optical component.

80EDFixierung.jpg (11747 Byte)
2" Crayford Focuser with locking screw and integrated T2 adaptor

Objective lenses in machined cell

An ED refractor with an aperture of a generous 100mm is generally considered a desirable but expensive all-purpose telescope. And now the last disadvantage has disappeared: Orion is offering an ED refractor with 100mm aperture at a price that had previously been thought impossible!

Advantages of an ED refractor:
- very portable. The telescope is even generally suited for airline travelling.
- sharp and contrasty images on the moon and planets. False colour (the major contrast killer in a normal achromatic refractor) is drastically reduced.
- excellently suited for CCD imaging and digital imaging - we also offer focal reducers and field flatteners for this telescope for even better results
- wonderful wide-field observations are possible with the relatively short focal length of this telescope. 2" accessories are recommended

Specifications:

Aperture / Focal Length / f-Ratio	Aperture 100mm / Focal Length 900mm / Focal Ratio f/9
Coating	Fully multi-coated objective - every optical surface features a multi-coating
Optical Design	Air-spaced doublet. One lens element is made of ED ("Extra low Dispersion") glass for much enhanced colour correction
Tube - mechanical assembly	The objective lens cell is machined aluminium. The tube is baffled to suppress stray light and enhance contrast
Tube Length	Complete with dewcap the tube is 90cm long.
