Sky-Watcher 120mm StarTravel Refractor

This is as good as it gets in a refractor, exceptional viewing power and clarity for both daytime and night-sky viewing. Description Sky-Watcher 120mm StarTravel Refractor Telescope w/ AZ Pronto Mount is a powerful and versatile refractor telescope for anyone wanting excellent daytime viewing together with genuine night-sky capability. Its large 120mm aperture delivers bright, detailed views, while the compact 600mm focal length provides a wide field of view that is particularly well suited to landscapes, coastlines, wildlife and other distant terrestrial subjects. For daytime use, the supplied 45° erect-image diagonal presents the view correctly oriented, making the telescope natural and intuitive to use. Two eyepieces are included, providing 30× and 60× magnification straight out of the box. With suitable optional eyepieces and/or a Barlow lens, magnification can be increased up to 240× under suitable viewing conditions, giving plenty of scope to extend the telescope’s capabilities over time. The AZ Pronto manual alt-azimuth mount is designed to keep operation simple. There are no electronics, alignment procedures or complicated controls to learn. The telescope can be moved easily by hand to locate a subject, while fine slow-motion controls on both axes allow precise adjustments once the view is centred. This makes it particularly easy to use at higher magnifications, where small movements make a noticeable difference. At night, the StarTravel 120 is equally rewarding. Its large aperture and wide-field design make it ideal for viewing the Moon, star fields, star clusters, nebulae and brighter deep-sky objects, with planets also within reach at higher magnifications. The result is a telescope that combines strong optical performance, ease of use and genuine day-and-night versatility in one well-balanced package. For buyers wanting a serious refractor without the complexity of more specialised astronomical equipment, the StarTravel 120 with AZ Pronto is an excellent choice.
