Sky Watcher Star Discovery MAK 102 Telescope

The telescope with an optical Maksutov-Cassegrain 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 uncomplicated design, it is easy to transport. The tube is mounted on a stable azimuth mount equipped with an accessory shelf.

The tripod is designed with an extendable base, allowing the telescope to be adjusted to the user's expectations. The equipment includes a 90-degree angled attachment, allowing 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 celestial objects. For those who prefer traditional methods, the set also includes a Synscan V5 hand controller with a built-in object database. The entire system is powered by 8 AA batteries. Additionally, the focuser includes a T-2 thread for attaching an optional T-ring and DSLR body.
