The Sky-Watcher Startravel-120 AZ Pronto<\/strong> is a powerhouse in a compact package. With an impressive aperture of 120 mm, this refractor captures as much as 38% more light<\/strong> up than the 102 mm model. This makes it the ultimate choice for the observer looking for bright, high-contrast \u201cDeep-Sky\u201d images without sacrificing portability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More light output and image quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Startravel-120 uses a high-quality air-spaced two-element achromatic lens<\/strong>. This design was specifically developed to suppress chromatic aberration more effectively than standard doublet lenses. With a fast aperture ratio of f\/5<\/strong> this is a true \u201cRich-Field\u201d telescope:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Deep-Sky Specialist:<\/strong> See the structure in the Orion Nebula, explore distant galaxies and see countless stars in open clusters such as the Pleiades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • During the day as a spotting scope:<\/strong> Use the 120 mm aperture for unprecedented clarity in nature observations. Thanks to the 45\u00b0 Amici prism, enjoy a true-to-life, upright image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Astrophotography:<\/strong> The \u201cfast\u201d optics make this telescope perfect for short exposures of solar eclipses (with filter!) and lunar photography with the included smartphone adapter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The AZ Pronto mount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A large 120 mm tube needs a solid base. The new AZ Pronto mount<\/strong> offers this stability thanks to its deluxe, stainless steel tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Smooth operation:<\/strong> The flexible slow-motion cables on both axes let you center and track objects very precisely, even at the maximum useful magnification of 240x<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Ease of use:<\/strong> The mount is intuitive and requires no complicated alignment. It is a true \u201cput down and watch\u201d system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Extra height:<\/strong> The included 21.5 cm extension tube ensures that you can comfortably view even when the telescope is pointed straight up (toward the zenith).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
