Sky Watcher Starquest 90 MAK Astronomy Telescope with EQ-AZ Mount

Compact and easy to set up, the Sky-Watcher Starquest 90 MAK Astronomy Telescope pairs a 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tube with a 1250mm focal length and an EQ-AZ mount for a versatile manual observing setup. Its long focal ratio of f/13. 88 and multi-coated optical system suit detailed views of the Moon, bright planets and double stars, while the lightweight format makes it a practical choice for beginners and anyone looking for a portable telescope.

The Starquest mount operates in both equatorial and alt-azimuth modes, with slow-motion cable controls on both RA and DEC axes for precise manual tracking. An adjustable aluminium tripod, accessory tray, 10mm and 20mm eyepieces, a red dot finder, a 90 star diagonal and a universal smartphone adaptor are all included, giving you a well-equipped package from the outset.
