Sky-Watcher Equinox-120 f/900 Pro Fluorite ED APO Refractor

The Equinox 120 is the star of the Equinox Series. Its generous aperture makes it an ideal observing instrument for solar system and deep space objects alike and it really shines on double stars. For astrophotography, the Equinox 120 features an f/7.5 focal ratio more than speedy enough for today's sensitive CCDs and digital SLR cameras. Plus, it can be coupled with a common SCT focal reducer to achieve even faster speeds.
Its high-power views are stunning. Consider these comments elicited by the Equinox 120 at a recent star party. Saturn was being viewed at 180x: ?Ç£This is the view of Saturn that I have been waiting all my life to see" Brian, D., an amateur astronomer with 30 years of experience; ?Ç£Come on, you've got a picture in there somewhere" Karen, P., first time ever looking in a telescope.
For experienced observers and novices alike, the Equinox 120 delivers remarkable and memorable views. It has the perfect configuration of aperture, focal length and focal ratio to make it a general-purpose telescope that can be used for everything from widefield viewing to high-power planetary imaging. It may be the only telescope you will ever need, and one of the finest you will ever look through in this aperture class.
