Orion Atlas 10" EQ-G Dual-Axis Control Reflector Telescope Kit with Eyepiece & 2" Crayford-Style Focuser, Focal Length 1200mm

The Orion Atlas 10" EQ-G Dual-Axis Control Reflector features a 254mm (10") parabolic mirror made from premium Pyrex low-expansion glass for superior thermal stability. The upgraded 2" Crayford-style focuser has a 1.25" adapter to accommodate either size of eyepiece; a 1.25" 25mm Sirius Plossl comes standard, as does a 9x50 finder scope.

The beefy Atlas EQ-G provides stable support and motorized dual-axis control, courtesy of dual internal stepper motors that slew the scope at up to 3.4° per second and track with exceptionally low periodic error. Backlash compensation in both axes and programmable periodic error correction (PEC) provide the precision required for astrophotographic guiding, either manually or with an autoguider via the autoguider port in the drive base.

The adjustable-height tripod has large 2"-diameter stainless steel tubular legs, making for a highly sturdy support system. You will need an external 12-volt DC power supply such as the Orion Dynamo Pro field battery, or an AC-to-DC adapter to run off of 110-volt AC.
