Features

Premium Astronomy and Terrestrial Observation

The Sky-Watcher 120/600 refractor telescope is a reliable performer, offering clear views of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies, planets, the Moon, and the Sun (with proper safety filtering!). Paired with the sturdy and user-friendly AZ3 alt-azimuth mount, this telescope ensures excellent stability and precise control. The mount features fine tracking adjustment knobs for both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes. Additionally, the Sky-Watcher 120/600 AZ3 can be utilized as a daytime terrestrial telescope.

The Refractor Advantage

The classic quality of images viewed through a refractor telescope is unmatched by other telescope designs. With no mirrors involved, a refractor delivers a generally sharper image, and there's no secondary mirror shadow, enhancing its suitability for terrestrial viewing when used with the provided 45o erecting image diagonal.
