saxon

The Saxon EQ3 Mount with Steel Tripod is the ideal and recommended entry equatorial mount for avid astromoners who want to enjoy accurate manual tracking of the night sky or may want to start their journey into basic astro imaging.

This mount is ideally suited to a 90 - 100mm refractor, 150DS Saxon reflector or even a 150mm SCT OTA.

The EQ3 is great quality and comes with a 3 year limited warranty.

The EQ3 is great for beginners or for the astronomer that likes to travel with a light kit, but needs the precision and stability needed for serious observing.

Suitable for rack and pinion, crayford and dual speed focuser.

Remove unwanted movements during focusing using the saxon Electric Focuser Controller.

Focusing is smooth and precise, just the way it should be.

Designed to be used with the saxon 127mm Apochromatic FCD100 Air-Spaced ED Triplet Refractor Telescope for astrophotography.

The saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets will reduce the focal ratio of the saxon127mm FCD100 Refractor Telescope from F/7.5 to F/5.25, providing a wider field of view, brighter images, and shorter exposure times. 

No saxon FCD100 telescope astrophotgraphy setup is complete without the saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets.

• 200mm aperture
• 1000mm focal length (F/5.0)
• 2" Dual Speed 10:1 focuser
• Easy-to-control heavy-duty mount
• Adjustable steel tripod with an accessory tray
• Fine adjustments of latitude and azimuth for precise polar alignment
• Bubble level for perfect levelling
• Aluminium setting circle dials allow for quick target acquisition via celestial coordinates
• Worm gear tracking controls provide full 360° manipulation of the RA and DEC axis
• Minimal vibrations

NOTE: This HEQ5 Pro mount comes with two 5.1 kg counterweights as standard.

With this optical tube installed the mount may require an addtional 5.1 kg counterweight to balance this set up, depending on what is placed on the OTA.

• Improved electronics contain increased memory for future expansion
• NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish)

To be used with saxon 80 ED Refractor Telescope.

The saxon 0.85x Focal Reducer for ED80 was designed with you in mind. It effectively reduces the focal ratio of our saxon 80 ED Refractor Telescope from F/7.5 to F/6.38.

Also provides field-correction for astrophotography.
