saxon EQ1 Mount with Tripod
saxon German Equatorial EQ1 mount with aluminium tripod & accessory tray and 2.5kg counterweight.
Great piece of kit. Although it's for beginners it helps to have a bit of knowledge of the language around telescopes. I managed to get it put together ok - but needed some help understanding some of it!
I get the impression at this early stage that I can learn a lot with this telescope.
