Sky Watcher Startravel 102 Refractor Astronomy Telescope with AZ5 Mount

Wide-field observing comes naturally to the Sky-Watcher Startravel 102, an achromatic refractor telescope paired here with the AZ5 deluxe alt-azimuth mount. With a 102mm aperture, 500mm focal length and fast f/4. 9 optical system, it is set up for rich-field astronomy as well as upright terrestrial viewing via the supplied 90 erect image diagonal.

The two-element, air-spaced objective is fully multi-coated, and the telescope is supplied with 10mm and 25mm eyepieces for x50 and x20 magnification. Sky-Watcher includes a 6x30 finderscope, dual-fit 1. 25"/2" focuser and an aluminium tripod with accessory tray. The AZ5 mount provides manual control on both altitude and azimuth axes, with continuous 360 azimuth rotation and an altitude range of -50 to +90. This combination suits beginners looking for a straightforward first telescope and also works well as a compact option for visual astronomy, daytime observation and fixed-aperture photography.
