SKYWATCHER TELESCOPIC SKYMAX 102 AZ PRONTO Maksutov

SKYWATCHER MAKSUTOV CASSEGRAIN TELESCOPIC SKYMAX 102 WITH AZIMUTAL AZ PRONTO MOUNTING

The ideal, uncomplicated telescope mount to always have with you for the astronomy and nature observation in the set with the compact but powerful Skymax 102 telescope and an Amici prism, which makes the nature observation possible.

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.

The Skywatcher AZ Pronto mount is a very light and portable azimuthal mount made of solid cast aluminum, made for small telescopes up to 3 kg in weight, equipped with a Vixen / Skywatcher standard dovetail rail. The extendable aluminum tripod legs can be fixed at any height with the built-in quick clamps. The mount is equipped with 2 flexible shafts, which allow a sensitive adjustment in horizontal and vertical direction. The shafts can each be mounted on both sides to allow a comfortable position, depending on whether you have a refractor or a telescope mounted telescope. However, you can also pivot the telescope directly and thus adjust an object faster. With the flexible waves, you can easily track objects. This very comfortable and high-quality easily transportable mount can be used for both terrestrial observation and astronomy.

The compact but powerful Skymax 102 telescope is ideal for observing binary stars, surface details of the moon or bright planets. Its high-resolution, long-focal optics are multi-layer tempered for maximum contrast and sharpness.
