The SkyWatcher Skymax 102/1300 Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a high-performance, portable and easy-to-use instrument. Its compact optical tube and lightweight mount make it easy to transport. Thanks to its long focal length, it delivers magnification comparable to similarly sized refractors, without the drawbacks of a long tube.
The 102 mm aperture MC telescope is an ideal instrument for beginners. Its excellent optics reveal fine 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 observed. On favourable occasions, Mars’s white polar cap and rusty-brown surface features can also be seen.
The SkyWatcher Skymax 102/1300 MC telescope comes with a 20 mm and a 10 mm eyepiece, providing 65x and 130x magnification respectively. A 1.25" mirror diagonal ensures comfortable viewing. The standard package also includes a Starpointer to make locating celestial objects easier. The T2 thread at the end of the telescope tube also allows a camera to be attached.
The EQ-1 mount is a lightweight, economical mount. For even greater convenience, it can be upgraded with a motor drive to make tracking celestial objects easier.
The telescope’s primary mirror is not collimatable!
