QR Code Link to This Post
Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are all about portability, sharp, contrasty images, and the flexibility to use them as a telescope for astronomy, a spotting scope for terrestrial use, a lens for photography, or a travel companion for all three! The Sky-Watcher 102 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain is just 11” long and weighs 4.25 lb., but it uses a 4” lens system to do the job of gathering light so you can see faint objects millions of light years away. The classic long focal length of f/12.7 will give you inky dark background skies so that celestial targets stand out beautifully.
The Skymax 102 comes with a nice selection of accessories, including a 1.25” 90-degree star diagonal, two 1.25” Kellner eyepieces (10 mm & 25 mm), a red dot finder for easy location and centering of objects, and a Vixen-style dovetail plate, which allows you to mount your telescope on a wide variety of alt-azimuth or equatorial mounts.
