Description
Featuring Freedom-Find dual encoders and wireless Wi-Fi control, the Skywatcher MC 102/1300 SkyMax-102 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain system delivers 1.14 arcseconds Dawes resolving power. Designed with an f/12.7 focal ratio and a 1300mm focal length, this 102mm (4.02 in) aperture telescope reaches magnitude 12.5 for high-precision portable GoTo astronomy and planetary EAA.
The Skywatcher MC 102/1300 SkyMax-102 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope incorporates an MHTC multi-coated BK7 meniscus corrector lens and a low-expansion borosilicate primary mirror. Its 310mm aluminum tube features an internal primary mirror micro-focusing mechanism. Mounted on an AZ-GTi dual-axis motorized GoTo mount with Freedom-Find dual encoders, built-in Wi-Fi, an aluminum tripod, and a pier extension tube, the 1.93 kg OTA ensures unhindered zenith viewing.
Key Features of Skywatcher MC 102/1300 SkyMax-102 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope
Engineered for high-precision portable wireless astronomy and planetary EAA, this 102mm Sky-Watcher SkyMax-102 AZ-GTi telescope pairs Maksutov-Cassegrain optics with a motorized GoTo mount. Its Freedom-Find dual encoders allow manual panning without losing alignment, while the pier extension tube provides smooth zenith clearance.
- 102mm (4.02 in) aperture with 1300mm focal length and long f/12.7 focal ratio
- Maksutov-Cassegrain design with BK7 meniscus corrector and borosilicate primary
- Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) for maximum light transmission
- 34% secondary obstruction by diameter (35mm secondary baffle, 11.6% by area)
- Internal primary mirror focus mechanism with precision adjustment knob
- AZ-GTi dual-axis motorized GoTo mount with built-in Wi-Fi and Freedom-Find dual encoders
- Pier extension tube and adjustable aluminum tripod with accessory tray included
- Red dot finder, 1.25-inch 90-degree star diagonal, and two eyepieces included
Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics & Planetary EAA Versatility
The folded catadioptric design delivers a long 1300mm focal length without false color, producing high-contrast views of planetary disks and lunar topography. Supported by a sealed aluminum chassis, this Sky-Watcher Maksutov supports visual magnifications from 14.6x up to 204x.
AZ-GTi Dual-Encoder Mount & Pier Extension Tube
Effortless computerized tracking makes exploring the night sky seamless. The AZ-GTi mount creates its own Wi-Fi network for SynScan app control, while its patented Freedom-Find dual encoders allow manual reframing without resetting alignment. Equipped with a pier extension tube, the optical tube pans smoothly near the zenith without hitting tripod legs.
- AZ-GTi motorized GoTo mount with integrated Wi-Fi and Freedom-Find dual encoders
- Pier extension tube providing extra vertical clearance for high-angle observing
- 1.25-inch 90-degree star diagonal paired with 10mm and 25mm visual eyepieces
