Visit SkyWatcher Starquest-102R with manual equatorial mount<\/strong> is an astronomical telescope designed for observers who want an instrument that light<\/strong>, quick to install<\/strong> without dependence on an engine. The STARQUEST<\/strong> is positioned as a range of\u201cgrab-and-go<\/strong>\u201da compact solution that combines Sky-Watcher optics<\/strong> renowned for their reliability, with newly designed equatorial mount<\/strong>, carefully designed to offer an excellent compromise between precision, stability and ease of use. This set comes complete with adjustable aluminum tripod<\/strong>, It's ideal for adapting to your viewing height and uneven terrain when out under darker skies.<\/p>\n At the heart of the pack, the STARQUEST-102R<\/strong> is an achromatic telescope with 2 items<\/strong> air-separated design Fraunhofer<\/strong>. Sound 102 mm opening<\/strong> captures a lot of light for its category, while its 500 mm focal length<\/strong> (i.e. f\/4.9<\/strong>) gives it a\u201crich-field<\/strong>\u201dShe's very popular. In concrete terms, she excels in large fields<\/strong> observation of comets<\/strong>, scanning starfields<\/strong>, locating objects, contemplating\u2019open clusters<\/strong> and luminous nebulae<\/strong>. It is also very pleasant on shiny objects: the Moon<\/strong> (craters, lunar seas, terminator) and planets<\/strong> the most accessible. Its optics multi-coated<\/strong> enhances transmission and helps maintain good contrast, especially in deep sky on large targets.<\/p>\n The STARQUEST equatorial mount is this telescope's other strong point. Once the STATIONING<\/strong> (polar alignment), it enables natural follow-up<\/strong> objects throughout the night, compensating for the earth's rotation. Sky-Watcher has integrated a high-quality clutch system<\/strong>a precise mechanics<\/strong> gear-driven 122 teeth \/ 360\u00b0 rotation<\/strong> on the two axes<\/strong>, and slow-motion cables<\/strong> pleasant to handle. The result is easier pointing and centering, as well as smoother tracking, particularly useful as magnification increases. The frame retains good rigidity, with a maximum visual payload of 3 kg<\/strong>, A perfect match for the tube supplied and reasonable accessories.<\/p>\n For accessorizing, the bezel is equipped with a eyepiece holder 2\u2033 rack<\/strong> (rack & pinion) with 1.25\u2033 reducer<\/strong> and compatibility T2<\/strong>. This configuration is very practical: it accepts both 2\u2033 wide-field eyepieces to take advantage of the scope's \u201csweeping\u201d character, and more conventional 1.25\u2033 eyepieces. The T2 connection makes it easy to fit certain adapters via rings, depending on your needs. The tube remains easy to transport with a weight approx. 2 kg<\/strong>, while the frame displays 5 kg<\/strong> all in all, an interesting combination for those who want to observe often, without heavy logistics.<\/p>\n Tip for higher magnifications:<\/strong> a fast achromatic telescope such as this one naturally has a chromaticism<\/strong> one blue border<\/strong> around very bright objects (Moon, planets, bright stars). This defect is generally moderate to around 100\u00d7.<\/strong> and does not cause much discomfort. If you wish to increase the magnification even further, we recommend adding a Baader Fringe Killer<\/strong> or a Baader Contrast Booster<\/strong>. These filters reduce the wavelengths responsible for chromatic aberration, improving visual comfort, contrast and perceived sharpness. With them, STARQUEST-102R becomes even more convincing in lunar<\/strong> and in planetary<\/strong>, while maintaining its excellent field performance.<\/p>\n In short, the Sky-Watcher Starquest-102R<\/strong> is a telescope 102\/500<\/strong> ideal for discovering the skies, travelling light and enjoying a manual equatorial tracking<\/strong> precise. It offers magnificent stellar panoramas, excellent rendering of bright objects and a simple, fluid and upgradeable observing experience thanks to its standard accessories.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sky-Watcher Starquest-102R : lunette astronomique 102\/500 \u201cgrab-and-go\u201d avec monture \u00e9quatoriale manuelle La SkyWatcher Starquest-102R avec monture \u00e9quatoriale manuelle est une lunette astronomique pens\u00e9e pour l\u2019observateur qui veut un instrument l\u00e9ger, rapide \u00e0 installer et performant, sans d\u00e9pendre d\u2019une motorisation.
