SkyWatcher 102/1300 Maksutov

updated: 2022-10-05

This is a relatively lightweight and small Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope coming with a rather high focal length (1300 mm) but a rather slow aperture ratio (f/) of 12,7. It is well suited for sun and moon observations and photography, but not fast enough for deep sky photography. Due to its low weight it can be mounted on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer mount on a tripod, if used to take pictures from the sun and moon.
