First-class precision instruments based on Klevzov's original advanced optical system design, for the advanced amateur astronomer who desires high resolution and excellent light passing power in a highly portable telescope. The Klevzov-Cassegrain non-aspherical system presents a radial new form of catadioptric telescope that combines the compactness of a Schmidt-Cassegrain with similar enviable high resolution image quality and contrast of modern Maksutov designs. Klevsov's revolutionary catadioptric design employs a sub-aperture meniscus correcting lens, combined with a Mangin mirror-lens secondary. Their fast focal ratios, flat field and excellent correction of coma, spherical aberration and astigmatism (14 micron star images at a distance of 10mm from the optical axis!!) makes these superb instruments for astrophotography, as well as for the observation of planets and deep-sky objects. Supplied complete with HEQ5 Equatorial Mount and tripod.

The new HEQ5 SynTrek is effectively a hybrid of the standard HEQ5 and the HEQ5 PRO SynScan. It is basically a standard EQ6 but with a pre-installed PRO SynScan motherboard and stepper motors, and supplied with its own unique SynTrek hand-controller.

The SynTrek hand control is designed for the purpose of providing a simple slewing and tracking control. The small and versatile SynTrek hand control provides automatic tracking of celestial objects as soon as the power is turned on. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to many other functions the SynTrek has to offer.
