DÖRR Meteor 700 Reflector telescope Achromatic

It is stable, can be easily used and is already fitted completely with stand, AZ-1 mounting, Finder telescope, 3 eyepieces, 2-way Barlow lens and Moon filter. The METEOR 700 enables you to achieve impressive observation results of the moon, planets, stars, open clusters and spherical star clusters
The DÖRR METEOR 700 is a reflector telescope or also a mirror tele telescope according to the Newton design. This design has proven itself over a long time. Generations of Astro names preferred the Newton design because of its many advantages. The telescope tube is very compact despite its large focal length of 700mm and a 76 mm opening. This is achieved by diverting the light from the main and catching mirrors. This makes the telescope not only more compact, but there are also no color defects – as with lens tele scopes often usual. The METEOR provides a very good optical quality. The Newton design of the Astro tele telescope allows a side view. This provides for pleasant and fatigue-free observation pleasure, without bending or strain. Since mirrors are easier to produce than lenses, the METEOR 700 has an excellent price / performance ratio.
The telescope is mounted on an LT2 stand with aluminum tripod legs. It combines high stability with low weight. A big advantage if you want to transport the telescope once. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted steplessly. In this way, a comfortable observation in an upright position is ensured - regardless of the height of the body. There is a support plate between the tripod legs. This is very useful for storing eyepieces and other accessories on it during the observations.
The two-axis azimuth fork mount AZ-1 enables the telescope to be aligned and the tracking of celestial objects. The azimuth (the cardinal direction) is set with an axis. The other axis is responsible for adjusting the altitude (the height above the Horizon t). The height axis has a fine movement via a rotating spindle. The setting is done manually on view. The azimuth AZ-1 mount is very easy to set up, as the telescope doesn't have to be aligned first. This saves time and nerves. You can set it up and start immediately with your observations.
The components of the telescope are made in such a way that they can be set up quite easily and quickly. Even the operation of the telescope is simple. While you are tracking the observation objects manually, you can set the sharpness exactly with two knobs. All setting options are designed in such a way that even beginners can immediately operate the telescope. No matter whether children, teens or adults - thus nothing stands in the way of a successful start in the world of Astro nomia.
The finder telescope is placed parallel on the telescopic tube and enables – after one-time adjustment – the quick detection of the desired celestial objects that you want to observe. A finder telescope is necessary because the viewing angle of telescopes is so low due to the high magnification that quick reference to celestial objects is not possible. The viewfinder mirror captures a larger area in the sky with the small magnification of only 5x and thus facilitates the quick alignment of the telescope to the desired object.
