The Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 instantly gives you a clear, calm view of the night sky. You get strong magnifications without the image fading quickly. As a result, you can see details on the Moon and planets that would never be visible with ordinary binoculars. Its compact design makes it ideal for taking with you. Fits easily in your bag, but delivers an image that is surprisingly powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright and high-contrast images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 102 mm aperture captures enough light to show the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn clearly. You'll see fine textures without hard edges or discoloration. The long focal length of 1300 mm makes it easier to use high magnifications so you recognize small details. So you'll see crater walls, cloud bands and Saturn's rings as if they were at your fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact, easy to carry<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tube is only 28 cm long. You take it with you anywhere, without any hassle. It is light, sturdy and quickly ready for use. All you have to do is aim and focus. This makes the telescope ideal for beginners as well as those who like to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also suitable for nature and photography<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Its calm image allows you to use it during the day to view birds, animals and landscapes. The T2 connection makes it easy to attach a DSLR. This allows you to take sharp moon shots or close-ups of nature from a distance. The focuser moves the main mirror smoothly so you can focus precisely. You get a wide focusing range that allows you to use many accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This telescope is ideal if you want to travel compactly but still see a lot of detail. For planets and the Moon, it is particularly strong. For deep-sky, it can also keep up, especially in dark sky locations. If you're looking for a small but powerful all-rounder, you're in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
