Product description

The NEQ-5 mount:

This mount is a further development of the EQ-5, in a white design. It provides a solid platform for most large telescopes and is excellent for exploring the night sky. Once you have aligned the parallactic mount on the Pole Star, you can easily sight on an object, position it in the field of view, and track it using the slow motion control knobs provided. Fine adjustment is possible in right ascension and declination. The polar elevation at the observing site can be set using the fine scale provided and adjusted perfectly by using two screws. Both a polar finder and electric motors for both axes plus a control unit can be retrofitted: the NEQ-5 is suitable not only for visual observing, but also for getting started in astrophotography. Long exposure astrophotography is also possible with the optional upgrades available, such as the motor kit or the GoTo kit. With a little practice, you will soon be able to produce successful images of galaxies and nebulae.

Oklop telescope bags are designed and produced to exactly fit the size of the equipment and to provide safe transportation with the following advantages:

  • The bags for telescopes are balanced, which means that the holders are placed exactly according to the center of gravity.
  • The cylindrical shape protects all parts of the scope so the equipment doesn’t wobble while you carry it in your hand or on your shoulder.
  • The material that we use is a shiny polyester that gives both a fine touch and keeps the water away.
  • The inner silk covered foam rubber padding provides protection from the moderate blows, holds the shape of the bag and makes them light in weight.
  • The carabiners and rings are made from metal for long life.
  • The edges of the bags are bound with fabric to prevent fraying.
  • The bags are “easy to close” due to the spiral zipper.
