Skywatcher Starquest 102 mm f/5 wide-field refractor
With an aperture of 102 mm, the refractor collects enough light to successfully observe thousands of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. Thanks to the short design of the tube, the refractor can also be mounted on relatively small mounts or even on photo tripods.The short focal length and relatively large aperture make the Starquest a true wide-field telescope for viewing and photographing extended objects beyond our solar system. Admire open star clusters amid thousands of suns in our galaxy or view distant star islands such as the Great Andromeda Nebula with its two companions.
The advantages of the Starquest 102 mm f/5 refractor
Tip for higher magnifications
Naturally, such a bright achromatic refractor has a color aberration. This is noticeable as a blue color fringe around brighter objects, such as the moon and planets. Up to a magnification of about 100x, the color aberration is quite moderate and not particularly distracting. For higher magnifications, we recommend the Baader Fringe Killer, a filter that specifically filters out the light ranges of the chromatic aberration (see recommended accessories). With this filter, you can then enjoy beautiful observations of the moon and planets.

"A good quality product, which is great for visual, wide-field observations. The 2-inch focuser is also very smooth and sturdy. Recommended for both beginners and experienced observers. "
