Rich-Field 4.5 Inch Newtonian Reflector Telescope. Possibly the best reflector telescope value available today, this 4.5″ scope boasts a short 500mm focal length. As a result, this scope packs a super-fast F/4.4 F-ratio, making it an extremely powerful instrument for wide-field and deep space astronomy. With its tremendous light-gathering power, you can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep space Messier objects in dark skies.
A revolutionary new single arm alt-azimuth mount performs several functions due to its unique encoder and DC servo motor with software control design. The Sky-Watcher multi-function mount can be used for astronomical electronic direction movement and tracking. Or use it terrestrially with its cruising function for imaging or recording of stored positions. Amateur astronomers can use their optical tube assembly with this mount to automatically track astronomical objects and slew at a fast rate for directional movement. The included hand control unit makes it easy and fun. The Sky-Watcher Multi-function Mount is a sophisticated yet simple to use instrument that may surprise you for its versatility. Optional GO-TO Capability The Sky-Watcher Auto-Tracking telescopes are also available with the computerized Go-To functions. With the revolutionary SynScan Computer Controller, astronomical object locating has never been easier or more fun. The telescope responds instantly to keypad commands at the touch of a fingertip.
This video shows the “Making Of” of a gigapixel picture project in cologne, germany. Meade4EOS, a sophisticated control software for the Meade DS2000 Telescope Mount is used to autonomously take the pictures. This software has been developed by Thomas Berndt – photo-worX.de The same software can be used for smooth video pans/tilts and advanced timescape projects.
Also includes L-Bracket for spotting scope attachment
Separate clutches on both axes
AZ4 Alt-azimuth mount features separate clutches on both the Altitude and Azimuth axes and a panning arm, which can be fixed in two separate positions. The movements are buttery-smooth and telescopes can be manipulated with effortless precision. Telescope OTA is attached to the mount via a standard Sky-Watcher dovetail bar. Also supplied with this mount is an L-bracket which allows the easy attachment of a spotting scope or camera. MOUNT: Alt-Azimuth ACCESSORY TRAY: Yes
