Sky-Watcher 102/500 AZ-Go2 Refractor Description
The exciting Sky-Watcher AZ SynScan Mount is a precision engineered instrument that will allow you to easily find and enjoy viewing night sky treasures, such as Planets, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Galaxies and much more. The AZ SynScan hand controller allows you point your telescope at a specific object, or even tour the night sky at the touch of a button! The user-friendly menu system allows automatic slewing to over 42,900+ objects. Even an inexperienced astronomer can master its variety of features in a few observing sessions. This compact Black Diamond 1025 telescope has a high-resolution multi-coated optical system and excels at medium-to-high-powers for the examination of the surface detail on the Moon, planets, as well as double-star observations. It is also useful for terrestrial use.
Optical Design
Achromatic Refractor
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
500mm
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/5
The relationship between the focal length and the aperture, larger f/numbers imply higher magnification.
Highest Practical Power
204x
Exceeding the Highest Practical Power will result in a fuzzy image.
Finder Scope
Red Dot Finder*
A low powered mini telescope with a wide field of view to assists with locating objects before observe through the main telescope.
Diameter
2″ with 1.25″ adapter
Diagonal
1.25″ 45 deg. Erect Image*
A small triangular attachment for making it easier to observe through the telescope.
Eyepieces
1.25″ Super 20 and 10*
Short focal length (5-10mm) eyepieces generally provided high power magnifications.
Tube Weight
2.53 Kgs
You may need a counterweight to prevent your telescope from rotating downwards due to gravity.
Tube Dimensions
10cm x 47cm
The physical size of the telescope tube.
