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

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

The Cassini-division can be easily seen just like Jupiter's atmosphere 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 GoTo mount is a solid platform for the telescope, providing excellent stability. This version is sold with the newest SyScan GoTo hand controller which does not need any computer to be attached. The hand controller contains a database with over 42900 objects, including all Messier, NGC, IC objects and other deepsky catalogues, plus a catalogue of double and variable stars. After aligning the mount properly it can find the selected object within seconds.

The mount includes:

• SynScan hand contoller
• built-in USB port
• polarscope
• counterweight
• 45 mm steel tripod
• power cord with zigarette lighter connector

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.

The two provided Barium eyepiece (10mm and 25mm) provide 40x magnification.

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.
