Telescope Celestron NexStar 102 SLT MAK

A portable Maksutov-Cassegrain astronomical telescope with an aperture of 102 mm and a focal length of 1325 mm. The focal ratio is f/13. The model is equipped with 2 eyepieces: 25 and 9 mm, as well as a prismatic angle cap with an angle of 90 degrees and an entrance and exit diameter of 1.25".

The telescope is characterized by a compact design and small dimensions, and the image obtained is very high-contrast. This model is best suited for observing bright objects such as the Moon and planets. It also allows basic observations of deep sky objects.

The model uses a lightweight azimuthal mount, which is equipped with the NexStar Go-To control system. This makes it possible to automatically search for objects in the sky. The mount is controlled by a NexRemote remote control, which allows selecting a catalog of 4,000 astral objects, including 600 galaxies, 300 star clusters and many double stars.

The mount is powered by 8 AA batteries, so no additional external power source is needed for field observations.

The kit includes:
- 102 mm optical tube,
- steel tripod,
- azimuthal mount,
- Star-Pointer finder,
- 25 mm eyepiece,
- 9 mm eyepiece,
- 90-degree angle cap, 1.25",
- 12 V transformer.
