Startravel 102/500 AZ PRONTO
Ideal No Fuss, Grab-and-Go Telescope for Easy Visual Astronomy as well as Daytime Terrestrial Observations!! Ideal for Daytime Terrestrial Observations as well as Deep-Sky Astronomical Use. Sky-Watcher STARTRAVEL telescopes are high quality two-element, air-spaced achromatic refractors, that are well proven performers for ‘Rich-Field’ views of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies & planets, the Moon and the Sun (with proper safety filtering!), as well as giving excellent daytime terrestrial views. These wide-field, short-tube telescopes are great as fixed aperture lenses for both Astrophotography and terrestrial photography with a DSLR. Their “fast" focal ratios make them useful for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as nature photographs. The well-engineered and easy to use AZ PRONTO Alt-Azimuth mount provides excellent stability with the supplied deluxe stainless steel tripod and precise tracking control via its slow-motion cables, on both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes. Supplied with a 21.5cm extension tube for additional working height if required. A highly capable, easy to use telescope & mount package that is highly recommended for beginners, or for more experienced observers wanting a convenient grab and go telescope. Capture celestial images with your smartphone with the supplied Smartphone Camera Adaptor!
