Skywatcher Skymax-102 Maksutov on alt-azimuth Mount AZ Pronto

Ideal No Fuss, Grab-and-Go Telescope for Easy Visual Astronomy as well as High Power Daytime Terrestrial Observations!

The compact but powerful SKYMAX-102 is ideal for the observation of double stars and the surface detail of the moon and bright planets.

Its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness. The versatile SKYMAX-102S can also be used for daytime terrestrial observations at high power (with an optional erecting prism diagonal, available separately).

The well engineered and easy to use AZ PRONTO alt-azimuth mount provides excellent stability and precise control, via its slow motion cables, on both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes.
