The Skywatcher Heritage 100P - the ideal travel telescope

The newest member of the Heritage family has some significant advantages and has been specially designed for travel use! The OTA can be removed from the mount by means of a handle and attached to most camera tripods thanks to a 3/8" tripod thread. The instrument is not only suitable for shorter holiday trips by car, but also for air travel. The low weight and compact but sturdy design are also ideal for such use.

The small telescope has a parabolic primary mirror which provides high contrast, allowing a wide range of observing options and the ability to make out much detail. Even deep sky observing is possible with this little powerhouse.

The attractive design - already familiar with the Heritage range - also makes this instrument a little gem that can really shine.

It is not only important which telescope you buy, but also where you buy it.
