Sky Watcher Starquest DX102 MAK Astronomy Telescope with DX Deluxe EQ Mount

Compact in form yet long in focal length, the Sky-Watcher Starquest DX102 MAK is a 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope supplied as a complete kit with the Starquest DX Deluxe German equatorial mount. Its 1300mm focal length and f/12. 7 optical system suit detailed lunar and planetary observing, while the equatorial mount brings controlled manual tracking through slow-motion cables on both axes.

This package combines Sky-Watcher optics with a fully adjustable stainless steel tripod, accessory tray, 10mm and 20mm eyepieces, a red dot finder, a 90 star diagonal and a universal smartphone adaptor. The mount includes setting circles, clutches on both right ascension and declination axes, a 45mm dovetail saddle and a 1kg counterweight, with optional RA motor drive compatibility for auto-tracking.
