Product description

More about the series Starquest...

The AC 102/600 optics: An excellent telescope for bright DeepSky objects with a large angular diameter. Discover structures in the Orion Nebula at the incredible distance of 1,500 light years! However, observing the Moon with this telescope is also a pleasure.

With its short design and low weight, it can be ideally combined with a lightweight Azimuth mount: A light and quickly usable universal instrument!

The Starquest DX mount is particularly high-quality and lightweight. Thanks to its simple operation, it is particularly suitable for beginners. Once set to the latitude of the observation site and aligned to the north, the mount allows you to keep celestial objects in the eyepiece at all times. To do this, only one axis is continuously rotated by means of the flexible shaft. This is the big advantage over an azimuth mount, which requires rotation around two axes. This tracking can also be done automatically with an optional motor.

The two axes of the mount can be rotated through 360°. It comes with a height-adjustable stainless steel tripod.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
