Designed for \u201cgrab-and-go\u201d use, it is distinguished by its <strong>AZ-GTi Go-To WiFi mount<\/strong> and its exclusive technology <strong>Freedom-Find\u2122<\/strong>, offering a freedom of use unique on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its <strong>integrated WiFi module<\/strong>, AZ-GTi mount creates its own wireless network, allowing total control via smartphone or tablet with the free application <strong>SynScan<\/strong> (iOS and Android). No external network is required: just enter your coordinates, perform a simple alignment, and you're ready to explore the sky using an intuitive touch interface.<\/p>\n<p>The Go-To system provides access to a database of <strong>more than 10,000 celestial objects<\/strong>, The new, easy-to-access catalogs include the Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogs, as well as named stars, double stars and solar system objects. Advanced features such as <strong>\u201cTonight's Best Tour\u201d<\/strong>, direct pointing, object identification and remote control greatly enhance the viewing experience.<\/p>\n<p>The great innovation of this frame is the <strong>Freedom-Find\u2122 Dual-Encoder<\/strong>, which allows the telescope to be moved manually on the azimuth and altitude axes. <strong>without losing alignment<\/strong>. This offers exceptional flexibility, combining the convenience of automated Go-To with the freedom of instant manual pointing.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of optics, the Skymax-102 is based on an innovative <strong>Maksutov-Cassegrain<\/strong> renowned for its compactness and precision. With a diameter of <strong>102 mm<\/strong> and a long focal length of <strong>1300 mm<\/strong> (focus report <strong>f\/12.7<\/strong>), he excels at observing <strong>double stars<\/strong>, and fine details of the <strong>Moon<\/strong> and <strong>planets<\/strong>. Its multi-coated optical system guarantees high contrast and excellent sharpness.<\/p>\n<p>The primary and secondary mirrors are coated with the <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>, offering up to <strong>94% reflectivity<\/strong> for bright, long-lasting images. The telescope comes with two eyepieces of <strong>10 mm and 20 mm<\/strong>, offering magnifications of <strong>x130 and x65<\/strong>, with a maximum potential of <strong>x204<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>red dot viewfinder<\/strong>\u00a0facilitates initial scoring, while the <strong>90\u00b0 angle return<\/strong> ensures optimum viewing comfort. L\u2019<strong>universal smartphone adapter<\/strong> included (compatible with cameras from 54 to 90 mm wide) makes it easy to capture images of the Moon and planets.<\/p>\n<p>The AZ-GTi mount is also compatible with the <strong>ASCOM<\/strong> for PC control, as well as with applications such as <strong>SkySafari Plus\/Pro<\/strong>. It features a SynScan snowshoe port (optional) and a DSLR trigger port for photography.<\/p>\n<p>The tripod in <strong>adjustable aluminum<\/strong> offers excellent stability while remaining lightweight. Adjustable from <strong>80.5 cm to 152 cm<\/strong>, It can be adapted to any observation situation. With a total weight of just <strong>5.75 kg<\/strong>, The whole unit is extremely portable.<\/p>\n<p>Power can be supplied via <strong>8 AA batteries<\/strong> or an external source <strong>7.5 to 14V<\/strong>, with a recommendation to use a <strong>Power Tank Sky-Watcher<\/strong> for optimum autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>The Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 AZ-GTi is a complete telescope, combining optical precision, advanced automation and freedom of use. It's an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want to explore the sky with a modern, upgradeable, easy-to-carry instrument.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical specifications<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical type<\/td>\n<td>Maksutov-Cassegrain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mirror diameter<\/td>\n<td>102 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focal length<\/td>\n<td>1300 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focus report<\/td>\n<td>f\/12.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Magnifications supplied<\/td>\n<td>x65 (20 mm) \/ x130 (10 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum useful magnification<\/td>\n<td>x204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical treatment<\/td>\n<td>RAQ\u2122 (94% reflectivity) + multi-layer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Supplied eyepieces<\/td>\n<td>10 mm &amp; 20 mm (1.25\u2033)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Researcher<\/td>\n<td>red dot viewfinder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Angled return<\/td>\n<td>90\u00b0 1.25\u2033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame<\/td>\n<td>AZ-GTi Go-To Alt-Azimuth WiFi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Technology<\/td>\n<td>Freedom-Find\u2122 Dual-Encoder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pointing accuracy<\/td>\n<td>Up to 10 arc-minutes (RMS)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tracking modes<\/td>\n<td>Sidereal, lunar, solar<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Travel speeds<\/td>\n<td>0.5x to 800x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motorization<\/td>\n<td>DC servo motors (double axis)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Connectivity<\/td>\n<td>WiFi, ASCOM, mobile apps, DSLR port<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mounting<\/td>\n<td>Vixen dovetail (45 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tripod<\/td>\n<td>Aluminium with accessory tray<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tripod height<\/td>\n<td>80.5 cm to 152 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total weight<\/td>\n<td>5.75 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power supply<\/td>\n<td>8 AA or 7.5-14V external batteries<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Smartphone adapter<\/td>\n<td>54 to 90 mm (universal)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; T\u00e9lescope Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 AZ-GTi : Go-To WiFi avanc\u00e9 et libert\u00e9 totale d\u2019observation Le Sky-Watcher Skymax-102 AZ-GTi est un t\u00e9lescope compact, l\u00e9ger et technologiquement avanc\u00e9, id\u00e9al pour les astronomes souhaitant allier performance optique et contr\u00f4le intelligent.
