Skywatcher AC 102/500 Telescope Startravel OTA

€ 295,00

Skywatcher AC 102/500 comes with compact StarTravel OTA, 25mm and 10mm eyepiece, 1.25″ 45° Amici prism, 2″/1.25″ adapter, tube rings, red dot finder and the 80-page beginner's manual Telescope ABC - ideal for wide-angle observations, nature observation and astrophotography of moon and nebulae.

Compact and versatile refractor

The Skywatcher AC 102/500 is a lightweight and portable telescope. It is ideal for observation of the Moon, planets and Earth. With a lens diameter of 102 mm, you catch a lot of light, so you see clear and sharp images. Thanks to the short focal length of 500 mm, you have a large field of view. This allows you to view galaxies like Andromeda or nebulae like Orion as if they were right in front of you.

Clear image with detail

The achromatic lens delivers sharp and high-contrast images. Planetary details stand out well. The large field of view makes object tracking easy and allows you to observe comfortably without constant shifting.

Easy to use and complete

This telescope comes as an optical tube (OTA) and can be placed on a standard tripod. The included accessories, such as 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, Amici prism and Barlow lens 2×, get you started right away. The optics are compact, so you can easily take it outside for bright sky observations.

What to expect

✓ Moon: craters, mountains and valleys visible
✓ Planets: disks and color contrasts clear
✓ Nature observation: birds and landscapes
✓ Deep-sky: bright nebulae and galaxies
✗ Sun: only with suitable sun filters
