Features

Premium Astronomy and Terrestrial Observation

The Sky-Watcher 102/500 refractor telescope has established itself as a reliable performer, offering impressive views of comets, star fields, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets, the Moon, and the Sun (with appropriate safety filtering). Paired with the robust and user-friendly AZ3 alt-azimuth mount, it ensures excellent stability and precise control. The mount features fine tracking adjustment knobs for both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes. Additionally, the Sky-Watcher 102/500 AZ3 is suitable for daytime terrestrial observations.

The Refractor Advantage

Refractor telescopes offer a timeless image quality that sets them apart from other telescope designs. Thanks to the absence of mirrors in their optical system, refractors provide generally sharper images. Additionally, the images are free from the shadow of a secondary mirror, making refractors well-suited for terrestrial viewing, especially when used with the included 45o erecting image diagonal.

Sky-Watcher Telescopes

In late 1999 the Sky-Watcher brand was born in Canada. Today Sky-Watcher is recognised as being one of the world's largest telescope suppliers. With a mission statement like the following, it is no wonder they are one of the world's biggest brands for night gazing.

'We believe that beginners' first scopes should be not only affordable but also of the highest quality. Looking through a telescope for the first time is a magical moment and we believe in magic! We're called "Sky-Watcher": our desire is to see the worldwide community of skywatchers grow, until, one day, every person in the world can be a part of our community!
