Use of telescope:
For excursions and private rental on-site
Due to its long focal length and large aperture this telescope is ideal for visual observations of any kind. A view towards the moon reveals breath-taking details of moon craters and other formations. Observation of planets will evoke unforgettable impressions with the ring of Saturn, the fast-moving spectacles of Jupiter’s satellites, or the clear and detailed surface of Mars. But even nebulas will show many details when using the appropriate filters.
At the same time and given the good optical characteristics of this telescope, you can easily generate phantastic data of DSOs. The high focal ratio of f/11 requires some investment of time but returns tremendous results.
