102/500 SkyWatcher Fraunhofer refractor on AZ4 mount in cherry color

This 102/500 refracting telescope from Sky-Watcher is a compact and fast telescope. The F/5 focal ratio results in a short tube (50cm) which is an advantage from transportation point of view. The objective lens is a Fraunhofer-type 2 element lens with multi coating on all surfaces and provides sharp and contrasty images. The 45 degrees Amici-prism can be used for both daytime and astronomical purposes. Recommended for observing the large, but faint objects, but the Moon and planets can also be observed in the magnification range of 15-200x. The rack and pinion focuser accepts 2" eyepieces and accessories. For example, using a 2" star diagonal, a 33mm focal length 2" eyepiece and a 2" deepsky filter at 15x the field of view is 4,5 degrees and even faintest nebulae can be seen in great details (like North America-, Pelican-, Andromeda-, Veil-, Orion- or California-nebula)

The AZ4 provides the flexibility that can be expected from an azimuthal mount, ideal for both astronomical and daytime use. Easy to carry, no counterweights are needed and is very robust.  The telescope mounted can be balanced easily. The flexible handles can removed and reattached on the other side, meaning that the mount can be used easily for both refracting and reflecting telescopes. The arm is tilted in 45 degrees, which makes it possible to observe objects around zenith even with instruments up to 180mm in diameter.
