Skywatcher Telescope AC 102/500 AZ-Pronto

The Sky-Watcher AC 102/500 telescope:

An uncomplicated instrument of very short length for viewing the heavens or for terrestrial observing. With a 102mm objective lens, this telescope allows a glimpse of the vastness of the universe at an affordable price. Its short focal length means it can be called a 'rich field' telescope, which allows great wide angle observing. This refractor has more resolution than a 70mm, meaning you can see greater detail when planetary observing. The resolution is 1.14 arc-seconds. Experience the Andromeda Galaxy or the Orion Nebula almost three-dimensionally, because the gigantic field of view turns your observing into a space walk.

Ideal No Fuss, Grab-and-Go Telescope Mounting for Easy Visual Astronomy as well as Daytime Terrestrial Observations!!

The Sky-Watcher AZ PRONTO is a lightweight, highly portable Alt-Azimuth mount constructed from cast aluminium, designed to attach small telescopes up to 3kg in weight, fitted with a 45mm dovetail bar.

Supplied with two flexible slow-motion cables, one for vertical and one for horizontal smooth fine motion control. The slow-motion cables can be positioned in a choice of two different positions on each axis, making it convenient to control both refractor and reflector telescopes.

The mount can also be moved around each axis manually, for rapid panning and elevation adjustments. Accurately tracks distant moving objects with ease. This delightfully convenient and well-engineered grab-and-go mounting is suitable for both terrestrial observations and astronomical viewing.
