Compared to the classic 60mm model, the SK 709 EQ1 is 36% brighter. This allows you to observe the Moon, the sun with the addition of the appropriate filter (optional accessory), or the planets with very good clarity.

The SkyWatcher 709 EQ1 features an equatorial mount that makes it easy to track the apparent motion of celestial objects with the help of micrometric movements. It also optionally accepts a motor on the right ascension axis, which allows for even more comfortable astronomical observations and photography of the Moon, the sun, and the planets.

Combine it with the special AstroSolar Baader filters, with which you can observe and photograph solar activity with absolute safety.
