SkyWatcher Skymax-102 Maksutov-Cassegrain (102/1300) on AZ-Go2 WiFi mount

This SkyWatcher Skymax 102MC telescope is a 102mm aperture compact telescope showing more details than the 90mm model. The central obstruction is 30% only resulting in contrasty image even at high magnification. Compared to Mira 102 model the aperture is similar but this Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is much shorter and weights less meaning that it is easier to transport, however the central obstruction makes the image a bit less contrasty. The recommended magnification range is 32-200x and shows excellent details on Moon or planets, and can be used to observe brighter deepsky objects as well. The scope has a standard photo thread and can be mounted on any tripod with an Amici-prism. Two Barium eyepieces are included (52x and 130x). The focuser has a T2-thread so mounting cameras is also possible.

The AZ-Go2 mount has integrated WiFi (creates it's own WiFi network, independent of other WiFi or mobile networks) so can be controlled wirelessly using your Smartphone or Tablet, via the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu. The App provides full computerised GO-TO control, enabling the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.
