The meniscus lens corrects the mirror almost completely: no chromatic aberration and a small central obstruction, hence high contrast. The 100 mm aperture yields 54x with the included 26 mm eyepiece; use approximately 200x as the maximum (f\/14). Collimation is rarely needed, and the optics are virtually maintenance-free. Allow for 30 to 45 minutes of cool-down time: the closed tube needs to reach ambient temperature for the sharpest image.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The EXOS-2 mount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EXOS-2 is a German equatorial mount of the EQ-5 class with a payload capacity of up to 13 kg. With the polar scope you align quickly and with the slow-motion cables you track objects smoothly. Later expandable with a motor set or the StarTracker GoTo system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maksutov optics 100\/1400<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EXOS-2 equatorial mount with tripod<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>26mm eyepiece (1.25 inch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red dot viewfinder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>90 degree zenith prism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eyepiece adapter, polar scope, and slow-motion cable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/bresser-eyepiece-plossl-pl-10mm-125\/\">Bresser Pl\u00f6ssl 10 mm eyepiece<\/a> (140x, 29 euros) is the core magnification. The RA and DEC motor set (299 euros) or the GoTo Upgrade Kit (519 euros) allow the EXOS-2 to track automatically.
