120mm F/8 SkyView Pro Refractor

Here's a big refractor at a bargain price on a mount that will take anything you can throw at it.


Why consider the 120mm SkyView Pro over the AstroView 120mm? This is a better configuration for photography because the SkyView Pro is a more "hefty" mount. You can add guide scopes, cameras and 2" eyepieces and remain rock solid. The SkyView Pro is an F/8 telescope while 120mm AstroView is F/5. At F/8, false color on very bright objects such as the moon, is diminished.


If you want a step up from the AstroView and want go "Pro" with spending "Pro" money, this is an excellent choice. I recommend adding a Rigel Quick Finder to EVERY telescope. And I would definitely add the single axis tracking drive.  ---Chris

SkyView Pro 120 EQ Refractor


  • 120mm aperture and 1000mm focal length for jaw-dropping deep sky, planetary, and lunar views
  • Includes two eyepieces, finder scope, focuser, diagonal, and FREE Starry Night astronomy software
  • One-year limited warranty

With 120mm of clear aperture and 1000mm focal length, the "SVP" 120 refractor has the magnifying ability to split 2-arcsecond double stars and reveal subtle lunar and planetary features. With less chromatic aberration than short-focal-length achromatic refractors, the SVP 120 provides pleasing star images with a minimum of color fringing.


It's the perfect scope for digital imaging. Pop on an Orion StarShoot Solar System imaging camera and you're all set to capture spectacularly detailed shots of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and lunar landscapes galore!


The telescope features a multi-coated 120mm (4.7") achromatic objective lens in an adjustable cell. The 2" aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser (with 1.25" adapter) allows use of optional 2" eyepieces. The tube rides on the sturdy SkyView Pro equatorial mount, which has a stainless steel tripod for superior rigidity. Standard accessories include an 8x40 finder scope, star diagonal, and two Sirius Plossl eyepieces.


The SVP 120 can be upgraded at any time to GoTo computerized object location. You can also add the IntelliScope Upgrade Kit for computer-assisted manual object-location. This standard configuration is compatible with optional TrueTrack electronic drives, allowing objects to be tracked after they are located.


One-year limited warranty.
