102 AZ-GTI GOTO MAKSUTOV Description
Sky-Watcher 102mm AZ-GTi Maksutov Cassegrain
The Sky-Watcher 102/1300 Maksutov Cassegrain is a fully automatic telescope ideal for beginners and those who want to get straight to observing. It is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The optical tube is closed by the front meniscus, keeping the mirrors protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust and pollution. The tube is short but the focal length is long allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces. With maximum practical magnification of 204x , this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.
The AZ-GTi Mount – WiFi-controllable with iOS and Android and compatible with SynScan hand controller, allowing it for smooth tracking and alignment. Use Wi-Fi to control the telescope wirelessly with your mobile device; smartphone or tablet.

Encoders
Yes
Measure the position and movement of the OTA. Allows precise tracking and pointing of the telescope.
Optical Design
Maksutov-Cassegrain
The optical design of a telescope is a feature that defines what sort of observing the telescope is suitable for.
Optical Diameter
102mm
The aperture (diameter) of a telescope’s main lens or mirror. This describes how much light a telescope can grasp.
Focal Length
1300mm
The distance that the light has to travel between the aperture and the focal point. A smaller focal lengths will deliver a wider field of view.
F/Ratio
f/12.7
The relationship between the focal length and the aperture, larger f/numbers imply higher magnification.
Resolving Power
1.18"
The ability to clearly distinguish between two points whose separation is less than the smallest angle that your eye can resolve.
Stellar Limit Magnitude
12.2
The magnitude of the faintest object visible under zero light pollution conditions.
Highest Practical Power
228X
Exceeding the Highest Practical Power will result in a fuzzy image.
Light Gathering Power
204
How much brighter things will appear than what the human eye can see.
Focuser
1.25"
Wider focusers allow for a wider field of view.
Recommended Usage
