Why buy the Sky-Watcher 102/1300 AZ-GO2 Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope

The Sky-Watcher 102/1300 Maksutov Cassegrain is an automatic telescope designed for beginners and those eager to start observing swiftly. Aligning the mount is a quick process with the "Bright Object" alignment mode, and the computerized SynScan system is the ultimate upgrade, providing automatic pointing and tracking of over 42,000 objects in the sky. This allows more time to enjoy observing and less time spent searching for faint nebulae or distant planets. Astronomy has never been so accessible!

The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a compact and potent optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The closed optical tube, sealed by the front meniscus, protects the mirrors from atmospheric elements like humidity, dust, and pollution. Despite its short tube, the telescope's long focal length enables high magnification with standard eyepieces. With a maximum practical magnification of 256x, this Sky-Watcher Telescope unveils details in Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.

The AZ-Go2 Mount is WiFi-controllable with iOS and Android devices and is compatible with the SynScan hand controller, ensuring smooth tracking and alignment. Utilize WiFi to wirelessly control the telescope with your mobile device, be it a smartphone or tablet.
