Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 AZ-Go2 WiFi Maksutov-Cassegrain

The lightweight and highly portable Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 (AZ-Go2) telescope has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The AZ-Go2 mount, with it´s built-in WiFi module, creates its very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile networks. After entering your coordinates into the app and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu.

The AZ-Go2 and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the app’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.

The compact but powerful Skymax-102 telescope is ideal for the observation of double-stars and the surface detail of the Moon & bright planets, but is also suitable for observing the Sun in white light (only with proper safety filtering!). Its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness.
