The Sky-Watcher Telescope AC 102\/500 StarTravel-102 AZ-Go2<\/strong> is a versatile telescope that combines wide-angle observations with modern technology. With integrated Wi-Fi and GoTo control, you easily operate the telescope via your smartphone or tablet with the free SynScan app<\/strong> (iOS\/Android). This way you automatically find and follow more than 10,000 celestial objects<\/strong>, without complicated settings or knowledge of the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The achromatic refractor<\/strong> with 102 mm aperture and short focal length of 500 mm (f\/4.9) provides bright, high-contrast images over a wide field of view. This makes this telescope ideal for observing open star clusters<\/strong>, mists<\/strong> and the Galaxy<\/strong>. Planetary observations also provide surprisingly sharp images: the Moon shows clear craters and shadows, and Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons are nicely visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The StarTravel optics<\/strong> is known for its lightweight and compact construction. With only 2 kg of tube weight and a stable, stainless steel tripod, the telescope is easy to move and quickly ready for use. The included 90\u00b0 star diagonal<\/strong> provides a comfortable viewing angle, ideal for high objects in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AZ-Go2 mount<\/strong> features quiet servo motors that automatically compensate for sky rotation. The single-arm construction is light, stable and prevents collision when aiming toward the zenith. Thanks to the Vixen-Style dovetail<\/strong> you can also mount other tubes or instruments. The telescope runs on batteries or a 12V adapter (not included).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application:<\/strong>
The Sky-Watcher AC 102\/500 StarTravel-102 AZ-Go2 is perfect for beginners who want to effortlessly explore the sky with automatic steering.
