Sky Watcher Evostar 102 Refractor Astronomy Telescope with EQ3-2 Mount

The Sky Watcher Evostar 102 Astronomy Telescope with EQ3-2 Mount 10740-20448 is a traditional two-element, air-spaced, achromatic refractor telescope. They are exceptional instruments with excellent optical and mechanical precision that are also high-performance and high-resolution. They are perfect for the accurate high-power study of the Moon, Planetary Surfaces, and other objects in our solar system because of their long focal lengths and spectacular, diffraction limited optical performance, which produces sharp, contrasty images. Equatorial mount EQ3-2 included, which, when polar aligned, enables you to easily track objects as they move across the night sky using its slow motion control wires.

Two-Element Achromatic Refractors with Air Spaces
Different light wavelengths are focused at different locations by an ordinary single lens. Air-spaced two-element lenses, which minimise chromatic aberration more than conventional doublet lenses, are used in the construction of all Sky-Watcher Refractors.
