102/500 SkyWatcher Fraunhofer refractor on Avant (AZEQ) 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 AVANT AZ-EQ mount can be used both in azimuthal or equatorial mode. Its modern design makes it very easy and precise to operate. You can fine-tune the position of the instrument easily with high magnifications also. From Horizon to Zenith  you can accurately point to all types of celestial bodies. It has a sturdy tripod, yet it is very light and foldable in a small space.
