SkyWatcher Evostar-102 (102/1000) refractor on EQ3 mount

The Sky-Watcher Evostar 102/1000 refractor is a classic refracting telescope.

The Cassini-division can be easily seen just like Jupiter's athmosphere or size differences of the four jovian moons. Phases of Venus and Mercury, polar caps of Mars and color of Uranus is also observable.

Hundreds of deepsky objects can also be observed and from under dark skies individual stars in globular clusters can be observed. The Dumbell- and Ring-nebulae show their shapre easily, just like the Orion-nebula. A 2" rack and pinion focuser is provided which accepts 2" eyepieces, star diagonals and many other accessories. All deep sky objects brighter than 10.5 magnitude can be observed from under dark skies. Magnification range is from 20x to 250x. The two provided Barium eyepiece (10mm and 25mm) provide 40x magnification.

The EQ3 mount comes with this package is a stable platform for this telescope. Both axes have slow motion knobs. A clock drive or dual axis motor drive can be purchased separately. A GoTo kit is also available with a database of 42900 objects. A polarscope can also be installed.

The EQ-3 mount is robust and can be later upgraded with many other accessories (dual axis drives, GoTo and polarscope). Baader solar filter is available.

For the GoTo version we highly recommend the Skywatcher Wi-Fi unit (SynScanWifi), with which you can control your telescope via smartphone or tablet. Just plug the Wi-Fi unit into the hand controller slot and download the free App (Android or iOS) - it is ready to use.
