Discovery Spark 769 EQ is a Newtonian reflector telescope with a spherical mirror, which is ideal for amateur astronomers, allowing observation of objects in deep space – nebulae, star clusters, distant galaxies and other objects from the Messier catalogue. Objects in near space, namely the Moon and the planets of the Solar System, can also be observed. A variety of accessories are provided with the telescope, along with a very interesting educational book "Cosmos. The Not-Empty Emptiness".
The optical tube of the Discovery Spark 769 EQ telescope is manually controlled via an equatorial mount with slow-motion controls. This makes it easier to track objects in the sky without losing them from the field of view. The glass optical elements of the telescope feature a special anti-reflective coating, which significantly improves light transmission, and therefore image quality. Celestial bodies appear clear and distinct.
The sturdy aluminium tripod will help you stabilise the telescope at the chosen observation site, and its height can be adjusted to the user. The accessory tray in the centre lets you store spare eyepieces, mounting parts and other accessories.
