Skywatcher Startravel-102 on AZ4 / Large Field Refractor 102 / 500mm

Skywatcher Startravel-102 Black Diamond Line Large Field Refractor 102 / 500mm on azimuthal mount AZ4 with tripod
A portable large field device for the enjoyable natural and star observation in astronomy


The Skywatcher Blackline 102 / 500mm is a real Richfield device. This high-light refractor allows impressive views into the depths of the universe. Admire the Andromedanbel, our neighbor galaxy, with both companions. Look at these three galaxies in the midst of stars, thanks to the very generous facial. Here, even a spatial impression is given. The galaxy "hovers" so to speak in space.

Thanks to the 2 "eyepiece you can also use 2" eyepieces. Under "recommended accessories" we offer you a complete 2 "kit with a view of a skyfield which is about 8 times as big as the full moon.

Tip for increased magnification - "recommended accessories"

Up to a magnification of 80x, the image is sharp and contrasting. If you want to zoom in higher to see the moon and planets, we recommend a yellow filter or the Fringe killer from Baader. These filters reduce the color error, which is normal with very high-intensity refractors.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the BKR 102/500 is a great device for traveling. The optical tube weighs only about 2.5kg.

Photography:

Also the photograph of more distant motifs on the earth and even the imaging of astronomical objects is possible with the refractor. The moon with its different phases is a worthwhile object. Bright and short exposure times make him very appealing - because a recording quickly and safely! The eyepiece extension has a direct T2 connection, where you can adapt your camera with T-rings.

- powerful and light-weight multi-compensated optics with 102mm aperture
- compact and highly transportable - mount and telescope weigh below 10kg
- more stable 2 "metal extension with improved properties for 2" and 1.25 "eyepieces
- direct T2 photo connection - with it the refractor is a 500mm telephoto lens with 1: 5
- easy operation and assembly within minutes, thanks to the universal AZ4
- the refractor is fixed by means of a quick coupling

The azimuthal pivot mounting AZ4

The Azimuthal Pivot Mount AZ4 from Skywatcher is equally suitable for earth observation and for astronomy. The stable mount holds instruments up to 8kg. The fastening is effected conveniently via a quick coupling.

The special advantage of the mount is in the sensitive pans, which can be carried out with the mount. Accurate positioning of the axes combined with the free adjustment of the resistance makes this possible. You can easily swing from the horizon to the zenith and will not have problems with the tripod. The lever can be fixed in two positions, depending on the observation area (Earth observation or sky observation).

The solid, height-adjustable aluminum tripod is not unnecessarily heavy and offers optimum stability. You can adjust the observation height from approx. 100cm up to 160cm.
