Medium Range Telescopes

SKY PROBE-I

 

Sky Probe-I is a telescope which the beginner as well as the serious star gazer have preferred alike. A generous 125mm-aperture mirror is able to pick up light even from the very faint celestial wonders to bring them to the wide field 25mm f.l. coated achromatic eyepiece – bright and clear. Jupiter’s cloud belts and the great red spot are within its reach. Its satellites casting a shadow on the planet’s surface are seen to be believed. The Cassini’s division in Saturn’s rings and its satellite Titan make a spectacular view. There is no end to the list of what this telescope can show you.
Tracking sky objects is simplified with its advanced, more sophisticated, heavy-duty equatorial mounting – a feature only professional and seasoned amateurs desire on their scopes. Included is a camera attachment that allows you to take photographs with your telescope using any camera. Guaranteed to provide you years of enjoyment and learning.

GALAXY-I

Great image brightness and depth of vision are the main qualities of this telescope. Galaxy-I boasts of a 153 mm diameter mirror, has almost one and half times more light grasp than our favoured 125 mm mirror dia. Sky Probe model. Not just that, the truly three-dimensional effects seen while observing the Moon or the planets is remarkable indeed. Available in a wider and higher magnification range with two wide field coated achromatic eyepieces of 25mm and 17mm focal lengths, this is a class above Sky Probe. It also has the distinction of being the “Standard Six Inch” telescope, which many books suggest as the ideal size for amateur astronomy. The short f/ ratio (f/7) makes it the ideal rich field telescope for deep sky study. On a heavier equatorial mounting, the overall dimensions are nearly the same as the Sky Probe-I. Also included are camera attachment for photography, books Treasures of the Night Sky and Sky Guide and Star Atlas.
