SkyWatcher Startravel-102 (AZ Pronto) telescope
102mm (4") f/500 refractor telescope on alt-azimuth Pronto mount
The ideal, uncomplicated, and handy telescope for visual astronomy, as well as daytime nature observation!
The Sky-Watcher Startravel telescopes are high-quality, achromatic 2-element air-gap refractors and are ideal for wide-field observations of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies, and planets, as well as the moon, and with special, secure filters, the sun, as well as for daytime nature observation. These short wide-field telescopes are perfectly suited for both astrophotography and terrestrial photography with your DSLR camera. The short focal ratio makes them ideal for photographing lunar and solar eclipses, as well as nature photography. The high-quality and easy-to-use AZ Pronto alt-azimuth mount offers high stability in conjunction with the included stainless steel tripod and allows precise adjustment via the flexible shafts in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes. For additional height, the set includes a 21.5cm extension column if needed. A powerful, easy-to-use telescope/mount kit, especially recommended for beginners, but also useful for experienced observers to keep with them at all times.
With the included smartphone adapter, you can start your first astrophotography experiments!
