SkyWatcher MAK 102 is an optical tube in the Maksutov-Cassegrain system with a diameter of 102 mm and a focal length of 1300 mm.
The tube works well as a short balcony planetary spotter, providing very high contrast when observing bright and compact objects (Moon, planets, bright clusters and galaxies), because it is practically free from chromatic aberration and is not very sensitive to atmospheric instability. It is also a good choice for people looking for a very portable telescope with considerable observing capabilities, one that will be a companion on many trips to dark, rural skies, while taking up very little space in the trunk of a car.
The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system is one of the most highly regarded optical designs, widely appreciated for its portability, ease of use and multifunctionality. It is an excellent choice for astronomical observations, as well as terrestrial and aircraft observations. Excellent optics provide exceptionally sharp images throughout the field of view. The telescope consists of a meniscus corrector plate, a primary mirror and a secondary mirror placed on the inner part of the meniscus. These telescopes have reduced coma and exhibit only residual chromatic aberration, giving very sharp and clear images. The great advantage of Maksutov telescopes is their compact and compact design and low weight. Due to their significant focal length and low light intensity, they are perfect for planetary observations. This type of design works well in metropolitan conditions, where the main focus is on Solar System objects rather than nebulae.
Additional benefits
• focusing
Focusing is not done by an external sliding focuser, but by a micrometric screw that moves the telescope's primary mirror. This method of focusing the image provides a very wide range of focus adjustment, thanks to which practically any astronomical accessories work well with this tube, and play in the focuser simply does not exist.
• T2 thread in the eyepiece focuser
The eyepiece extender is equipped with a T2 thread (M42x0.75), so that to connect a SLR camera you only need a T2 ring for the bayonet of your camera (Nikon, Canon EOS, Sony α, Olympus E, Olympus 4/3, Pentax K). In this way, you can use the telescope to take pictures of the Moon and planets or use it as a 1300 mm f/12.7 telephoto lens.
• camera tripod mount
The tube can be mounted on any rigid photographic tripod via a standard 1/4 inch thread.
