The SkyWatcher Skymax 102/1300 Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope is an ideal choice for those looking for a high-performance, portable and easy-to-use instrument. Its short optical tube and lightweight mount make it easy to transport. Thanks to its long focal length, it delivers magnifications comparable to similarly sized refractors, without the disadvantages of a long tube.
The 102 mm MC telescope is an ideal instrument for beginners. Its excellent optics reveal fine surface details on the Moon and planets, allowing magnifications of up to 200x. Under good atmospheric conditions, the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings and Jupiter's Great Red Spot may also be visible. On favourable occasions, Mars's white polar cap and rusty-brown surface features can also be observed.
The SkyWatcher Skymax 102/1300 MC telescope comes with a 20 mm and a 10 mm eyepiece, providing magnifications of 65x and 130x respectively. Comfortable viewing is facilitated by the 1.25" mirror diagonal. The standard package also includes a Starpointer, making it easier to locate celestial objects. Thanks to the T2 thread at the end of the telescope tube, a camera can also be attached.
The EQ-1 mount is lightweight, portable and economical. For even greater convenience, it can be upgraded with a motor drive, making it easier to track celestial objects.
