Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 Telescope

Description

Amateur astronomers seeking crisp lunar and planetary contrast without excessive color fringing utilize the Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 Telescope manual equatorial refractor system. Designed in Germany, this long f/11.1 telescope features a 90mm (3.54 inches) aperture and a 1000mm focal length, attaining 1.29 arcsecond Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 11.5.

The Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 Telescope incorporates a two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass doublet objective with multi-coated anti-reflective layers on all air-to-glass surfaces. Its rigid aluminum tube construction features internal matte-black anti-reflection baffles to suppress internal reflections. Supported by an EQ-2 German equatorial mount and aluminum tripod, the total system weighs 7.80 kg (17.20 lbs), while the 110mm by 970mm optical tube weighs 2.50 kg.

Key Features of Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 Telescope

Tailored for high-magnification planetary observation and splitting binary stars, this Omegon AC 90/1000 refractor telescope combines an elongated f/11.1 optical system with an EQ-2 equatorial mount. Its manual slow-motion tracking cables deliver steady, sharp views across lunar maria, Saturn’s rings, and Jupiter’s cloud belts.

• 90mm (3.54 inches) aperture with 1000mm focal length and long f/11.1 focal ratio
• Two-element air-spaced crown and flint glass achromatic objective layout
• Multi-coated anti-reflective treatment applied to all air-to-glass surfaces
• 0% secondary mirror obstruction for high-contrast unobstructed refractor clarity
• 1.25-inch rack and pinion focuser with manual tension adjustment screw
• EQ-2 precision equatorial mount head with counterweight shaft and balance mass
• Dual flexible slow-motion tracking control cables for celestial tracking
• 6×30 optical crosshair finder telescope fitted on fixed support bracket

Long-Focus Achromatic Planetary Optics

The 90mm objective lens utilizes an elongated 1000mm focal layout to suppress chromatic edge aberrations on bright celestial targets. With zero central obstruction (0.0%), this Omegon refractor provides edge-to-edge optical sharpness across magnifications from 13x up to 180x.

EQ-2 Equatorial Mount & Precision Slow-Motion Cables

Following celestial targets at high magnification requires smooth polar alignment tracking. The Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 features an equatorial mount head equipped with slow-motion cables that allow observers to track planetary disks smoothly. Paired with hinged tube rings and an aluminum tripod, it provides a stable viewing platform for detailed observation.

• EQ-2 equatorial mount head with counterweight balancing system and tripod tray
• Included Super 25mm and Super 10mm eyepieces with 90-degree star diagonal mirror
• 6×30 optical crosshair finder scope for locating planetary targets easily

Omegon AC 90/1000 Warranty

The Omegon AC 90/1000 EQ-2 Telescope is backed by a 2-year limited warranty against material and craftsmanship defects. The complete package contains the 90mm refractor OTA, EQ-2 mount head, aluminum tripod with accessory tray, counterweight assembly, slow-motion cables, 6×30 optical finder scope, 90-degree star diagonal, and two eyepieces.
