Product Description
Nights under the stars will never be quite the same with the Atlas 10 EQ-G. They'll be much, much more rewarding. This scope's big 10" optics and newly engineered mount - with GoTo functionality, there is no place you can't go. The handcontroller's database puts over 42,900 objects are at your fingertips. Big-telescope performance is all about the optics. The Atlas 10 features a 254mm (10") parabolic mirror made from premium Pyrex low-expansion glass for superior thermal stability. The upgraded 2" Crayford-style focuser has a 1.25" adapter to accommodate either size of eyepiece; a 1.25" 26mm Sirius Plossl comes standard, as does a 9x50 finder scope. Then there's the mount. The beefy Atlas EQ-G provides stable support and motorized dual-axis control, courtesy of dual internal stepper motors that slew the scope at up to 3.4-deg per second and track with exceptionally low periodic error.
