The TS Optics JUPITER is a versatile beginner´s telescope with many accessories

The refractor (uses lenses) is very easy to use and can be handled by children age 7+ It suits quite all areas of astronomy, but will work fine as spotting scope for terrestrial use. All you need is included.

As a refractor, the JUPITER can be used almost directly after setting up with little time to cool down. Adjustment of the optics is rarely necessary - usually never.

The equatorial mount

The EQ3-1 holds the telescope with a very good stabiltiy. Many other telescopes in this price range are only offered on the EQ-1 or a similar mount that is undersized for a telescope of this size.

The mount offers professional functions such as:
♦ polar fine alignment for precise setup
♦ mount can be removed from the tripod
♦ oversized field tripod
♦ manual slow motion control in both axes through flexible shafts
♦ tracking motor available optionally
(see "recommended accessories")

The finder scope

The finder helps to find and center the object that you wish to see in the telescope. It has a much larger field of view than the telescope and a crosshair.

Solid 1.25" Focuser

An often overlooked detail of particular importance. The focuser´s job is to hold the eyepiece ("magnifying lens") in place and move it into focus for a sharp image. The eyepiece defines the magnification you get. The JUPITER refractor has a standard 1.25" focuser, not the older 24.5mm size. As a result, you can choose from hundreds of optional accessories available for 1.25".
