Ideal no fuss, grab-and-go telescope for easy visual astronomy as well as daytime terrestrial observations. The Startravel-102 is a two-element, air-spaced achromatic refractor and a well proven performer for Rich-Field views of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies and planets, the Moon and the Sun (with proper safety filtering). The supplied erect image diagonal provides an upright, fully corrected image allowing the telescope to be also used for terrestrial observing.
The elegant, well engineered and easy to use AZ5 Deluxe Alt-Azimuth mount provides excellent stability and precise control, via its slow motion cables, on both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes. Comes with 10mm and 25mm 1.25 inch eyepieces, 6x30 finderscope, dual fit 1.25 / 2 inch focuser, 90 degree erect image diagonal 1.25 inch and aluminium tripod with accessory tray. Magnifications with supplied eyepieces 20x and 50x.
62.5% more light gathering than an 80mm scope.
