The StarTravel 102 AZ3 telescope accepts 2″ diagonals for amazing wide field views while still giving crisp images with limited chromatic aberration.
The telescope has tube mounting rings that hinge open and allow easy installation for the optical tube. The locks can then be loosened while using the scope. This allows for tube rotation and balancing.
The eyepiece holder also has a T-mount thread which allows for the attachment of an appropriate T-adapter (not included).
The included accessories such as the tripod accessory tray, the 25mm and 10mm Super eyepieces, the 1.25″ erect 45° image diagonal, the 2″ to 1.25″ adapter, and the red dot finder, make the StarTravel 102 AZ3 telescope a comprehensive viewing experience that new and experienced amateur astronomers are sure to enjoy.
