The Skywatcher 102mm AZ3 Refractor Telescope can provide excellent vistas of star fields, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets, the moon and (with correct filtering or by projection) the sun. It’s also a fantastic terrestrial telescope when mounted on an alt-azimuth mount or a photographic tripod.
This two-element, air-spaced, fully multi-coated objective, achromatic refractor can produce exciting “rich field” crisp astronomical images at a reasonable price, making it an excellent beginner’s “first telescope”, or a great travelling telescope for a more advanced observer.
This awesome large aperture telescope has more light collecting power then smaller models and accepts 2″ diagonals for awesome wide field views, whilst having only a small amount of chromatic aberration and weight.
Weighing just 3kg the optical tube assembly is easy to carry and its short length of approximately 50cm means its a breeze transported. Being a refractor, it is quick and easy to set up and the low- maintenance, enclosed optics come fully collimated.
The optical tube assembly comes with “tube mounting rings”. These hinge open to allow easy installation of the optical tube and the locks can be loosened during use to allow tube rotation and balancing. Mounting the telescope on an alt-azimuth or an equatorial mount is quick and simple with the appropriate mounting plate. Your Sky-Watcher refractor telescope also performs well as a fixed aperture, 510mm lens for both terrestrial and astrophotography.
The “fast” f/5 focal ratio, combined with today’s high-speed films, is excellent for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as for nature photographs. A solid, equatorial mount and a method of guiding are required for longer exposure astrophotography. A T-mount thread on the eyepiece holder allows direct attachment of an appropriate digiscoping T-adapter and the optional extension tube gives closer focusing for terrestrial photography.
Your telescope comes with an AZ3 mount and aluminium tripod that’s the perfect companion thanks to its exceptionally sturdy design and ease of operation. It features slow-motion control cables on both axes, allowing horizontal and vertical operation.
