Skywatcher Skymax 102 AZGTI - Maksutov

The Skymax 102 Maksutov telescope uses a 102mm diameter Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system which, compared to other configurations (such as Newtonian), is more compact and suitable for observing or photographing planets and the Moon at high magnification.

SkyMax Maksutov optical tube, 102mm diameter, 1300mm focal length (f/12.7), 25mm and 10mm eyepieces with 31.8mm diameter, 31.8mm mirror diagonal, Starpointer finderscope, photographic tripod mount, and 45mm dovetail bar (EQ5 type).

Weighing only 1.3kg and measuring 14cm*9cm*14cm, the new AZ-GTI is the definitive Wi-Fi motorized GOTO mount for those who have always wanted a stable, lightweight, and compact support to take with them in their continuous search for dark skies far from light pollution, without sacrificing the convenience of motorized Wi-Fi automatic pointing.

The dual encoders mounted on the axes will allow you to perform manual pointing of objects while always knowing the coordinates of the portion of the sky you are observing, ideal for night sky explorers who love to scan and survey the depths of the sky without being bound to motors and clutches.

For those who wish to control their camera directly from their smartphone, a SNAP port is available (optional cable required). Taking sequences of shots, timelapses, etc., will no longer be a problem.

Entirely controllable via Wi-Fi and the SynScan App, available for free in the respective stores for iOS and Android devices, you will have all the power and features of the SynScan GoTo hand controllers incorporated into your smartphone: less bulk, greater ease of use, and always up-to-date maps and ephemeris data. Perform a quick one, two, or three-star alignment and you will have over 40,000 objects available to point at automatically and with high precision. Simply power the mount with 12V using batteries or external power supplies, perform a simple alignment, and the Servo DC motors with a tracking accuracy of 0.625“ will keep the objects you are observing—whether clusters, galaxies, the Moon, or planets—always in the center of your telescope's field of view. You will no longer have to worry about micrometric motions; your Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI mount will guarantee you literally unforgettable nights of observation.
