Sky Watcher Star Discovery MAK 102 Telescope

The telescope with an Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system has an objective diameter of 102 mm and a focal length of 1300 mm. It allows for a maximum useful magnification of 204x, which enables easy observation of the moon's surface and the brightest stars. Thanks to its lightweight construction and simple design, it is easy to transport. The tube is mounted on a stable azimuthal mount, which is equipped with a shelf for accessories.

The tripod has been designed with an extendable base, allowing the telescope to be adjusted to the user's expectations. It comes with a 90-degree diagonal for precise focusing and an optical 6x30 finderscope.

The telescope features a GO-TO SynScan system, which, using a Wi-Fi module and a smartphone app, facilitates locating and tracking objects in the sky. For those preferring traditional methods, the set also includes a Synscan V5 hand controller with a built-in object database. The whole set is powered by 8 AA batteries. Additionally, the focuser has a T-2 thread allowing for the connection of an optional T-ring and DSLR body.
