Mars Opposition 2020

The return of the red planet

In October 2020, Mars will be in the constellation of Pisces in opposition to the Sun. There are still some months to go until then, but Mars has already been showing the first details in the telescope since end of May. On the occasion of this highlight we are offering you some Baader products with 10% discount.

More about this year's Mars opposition and the appropriate telescope equipment for the observation in our blog.

High quality camera sets with QHY-5-III-462C camera

Especially interesting for deep sky and planetary imagers: QHY 462C camera (VIS/NIR) with Baader FlipMirror II Star Diagonal. Center a planet in the eyepiece and switch to the QHY for planetary photography with the flip mirror - or connect the QHY to the Off-Axis-Guider and use it as autoguider for deep sky photography with a DSLR or CCD camera!

Our planetary bundle with the Baader Q-Turret Eyepiece Set deliver outstandig sharpness and contrast. With one twist you can switch between the three high-quality Classic Ortho eyepieces, which are the first choice of planetary observers because of their image sharpness, and the QHY. Also in the set: A 32mm Classic Plössl and a 2.25x Barlow.
