The Sky Watcher Skymax 102 MAK Astronomy Telescope EQ2 Mount 10674, which is incredibly portable, is excellent for observing double stars as well as examining the Moon's and bright planets' surfaces in great detail. Despite being compact, it has a strong punch. To enhance contrast and image sharpness, its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated.
Features
Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design
Coatings made of proprietary Radiant Aluminium Quartz (RAQ) are found on the primary and secondary mirrors.
Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) on a corrector plate completely eliminate chromatic aberrations.
1300mm focal length, 102mm aperture, and f/12.7 focal ratio
Glossy, black diamond metal-flake polish on an aluminium tube
Comes with the EQ2 equatorial mount
The Sky Watcher Skymax 102 MAK Telescope comes with the EQ2 equatorial mount, which when polar aligned will make it simple to follow things as they move across the night sky with its slow motion control wires.
The Skymax series, the top line of Maksutov-Cassegrains from Sky-Watcher, offers sharp, contrasty vistas with great levels of detail. Maksutovs are compact telescopes that provide astronomers with a big visual aperture, excellent contrast, and long focal length in a package that is generally regarded as providing clearer images than Schmidt-Cassegrains. These telescopes have focal lengths that are 5-7 times greater than the typical Newtonian or refractor telescope, which allows them to produce higher levels of planetary detail.
Mirrors used in Sky Watchers Skymax Maksutovs are made of borosilicate, are polished, and have our unique Radiant Aluminium Quartz (RAQ) coatings applied to them. These coatings create a phenomenal 94% reflectivity. To assist eliminate chromatic aberration, all Maksutovs employ a corrector plate. This plate is then coated with our patented Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), creating high-quality optics at a reasonable cost.
