LIGHTWEIGHT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD

A telescope will see a lot of use if it is easy to operate and can be set up without a lot of fuss. The Evostar-90 AZ fits the bill for both: we found it easy to assemble and, at a combined weight of 6.25kg, light enough to lift as a single unit. The mount head and tripod weigh 3.85kg together, the refractor 2.4kg. The scope attaches to the mount head via a Vixen-style mounting bar and is firmly held in place with a single knob, which can be quickly released for ease of transport. This makes it ideal as a grab and go setup to catch breaks in the clouds or take to remote observing sites to view special events or just enjoy darker skies.
