Characteristic

The Bird-Jones mirror design offers two advantages: less aberrations than a normal spherical primary, and a more compact and portable telescope.
The EQ5 German Equatorial mount and AT5 tripod offer maximum stability and smooth motion.
The EQ5 mount can be fitted with either the DK1 (single axis) or DK3 (dual axis) Motor Drives.
