Sky-Watcher telescope (Synta) BKMAK102EQ2

The Maksutov optical system telescope is widely appreciated for its mobility, ease of use and multifunctionality. It consists of a correction - meniscus plate, a primary mirror and a secondary mirror located on the inner part of the meniscus. These telescopes have reduced coma and exhibit only residual chromatic aberration, giving us sharp and clear images.

Optical system
A telescope consisting of a spherical meniscus corrector (a negative meniscus lens made of cronium glass), a primary mirror and a secondary mirror located on the inner part of the meniscus. Telescopes of this type have reduced coma, astigmatism and generally exhibit only residual chromatic aberration.

This telescope collects about 200 times more light than the human eye at night, providing the ability to observe objects up to nearly 11.7 stellar magnitudes (with naked eye visibility up to 6 stellar magnitudes). The size of the mirror is also related to the optical resolution, which in this telescope makes it possible to resolve stars that are more than 1.4" apart.

Mounting
The EQ2 parallactic mount allows you to set up the telescope according to an atlas or sky map, as well as smooth micro-adjustment in the axis of rectascension and declination. The mount needs to be properly set up and aligned with the north pole of the sky, and this will allow us to operate the mount easily. The mount can be retrofitted with a suitable single-axis drive to automatically follow the object across the sky.

Extractor
The telescope is equipped with a 1.25" eyepiece output. Focusing is adjusted using a knob located at the mirror. It is with the help of the adjustment of the position of the main mirror that we adjust the focus. The kit comes with two eyepieces of this diameter. Astronomical observations
