Sky Watcher 70/500 SolarQuest Solar Scope with Heliofind Mount
We’ve just made solar observation easier for you!
Introducing Sky-Watcher’s innovative and revolutionary solar telescope.
Enjoy a fun family astronomy trip in the comfort of daylight. Pointing the 70 Refractor SolarQuest towards the sun in one go can be difficult and trying to find the sun in the sky using the tiny blacked out view of a scope is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Keep it simple and let the SolarQuest on Heliofind Mount do it for you.
SolarQuest is a very user-friendly and safe solution for observing the sun. Using Sky-Watcher’s revolutionary technology; the Heliofind mount can be easily operated by anyone in the family. With just a push of a button the mount and SolarQuest will start slewing clockwise in the azimuth direction to search for the sun. If the tripod is moved by accident, users can easily start again and the SolarQuest will quickly find the sun.
This is great set up for beginners to observe sunspots, eclipses and the transit of inner planets.
- a 70mm f/7 – 500 Focal length refractor Solar Scope
- HelioFind Solar Tracking Mount
- Tripod
- Standard Eye Piece
WARNING:
The SolarQuest mount is designed to work with the attached solar telescopes ONLY. Do not point other types of optical device at the sun; looking directly at the sun without a certified filter will cause immediate and irreversible damage to the eyes or instrument.

Step up to to the Sky-Watcher 10" Dobsonian for extra light gathering and sharper observing!
- Most Practical f/5 Telescope
- Outstanding Light Gathering Ability
- Super-smooth Azimuth Movement
- Tension Control System
- 2″ Focuser with a 1.25″ Adaptor
- 5 Years Sky-Watcher Limited Warranty
The Ultimate Light Gatherers
The Dobsonian telescopes are named after John Dobson, an amateur astronomer who designed a very simple but effective telescope, where the key factor is a large aperture for little money. His idea was to mount a Newton telescope on an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount that does not need time-consuming alignments.
The Sky-Watcher 10″ Dobsonian is a large aperture Newtonian reflector telescope with f/5 focal ratio, make it ideal for wide field and deep-sky observation. Big aperture means better light gathering power and with this Sky-Watcher Telescope you are able to see prominent deep-sky object such as nebulae, star cluster and many more. It's also an excellent telescope for viewing planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and its rings and more.
To top it off, the Sky-Watcher Classic 250P Dobsonian is equipped with a 2″ Crayford focuser and focuser locking screw to allow easy use of either eyepiece size.
Tension Control System
The Tension Control System allows you to adjust the friction setting; to increase or reduce the amount of resistance when moving the tube on the wooden mount, so you always have the appropriate resistance. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube with the specially designed handles (found on the base) and this adds enough friction and tension to allow the tube to move easily when nudged or to stay solidly in position.

Most SBIG filter wheels require a direct connection to an SBIG camera to be operated. Some specialized imaging configurations either require additional filter wheels, or a direct SBIG camera connection is not possible. In this case, the SBIG USB to Filter Wheel Adapter (USB-FW) can be used to control the wheel.
Note: The USB-FW does not include mechanical adapters. If the wheel is not directly coupled to an SBIG camera then custom mechanical adapters may be required.
Features
- USB Mini B interface, 15 foot (4.5 m) USB A to Mini B cable included
- DB-9 style I2C connector for filter wheel – connects to original filter wheel cable
- Universal AC power supply with 9 foot (2.7 m) extension cable and locking power connector included
- Uses ASCOM driver for control from most astronomical imaging software or via custom scripts
- Works with SBIG AFW series filter wheels, FW8S-STXL, FW8S-STT, FW8-8300, and FW7-STX.
- Supports dual wheel operation for the SBIG AFW series wheels
Note: Older SBIG wheels with a DB-9 style I2C connector may also be compatible, but have not been tested with the USB-FW adapter and correct operation is not guaranteed.
