Sky-Watcher 80/900 AZ-Go2 Refractor Telescope
The Sky-Watcher 80/900 AZ-Go2 is an 80mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope that come with a focal length of 900mm. It's an ideal size for beginners, offering views of:
- The Moon
- Rings of Saturn, moons of Jupiter (if in the sky when you're observing)
- Deep-sky objects including nebulae, star clusters and more
Images viewed through a refractor telescope have a classic quality that other telescope designs lack. Since a refractor does not use mirrors to view objects, you get a generally sharper image. Images are also displayed without the secondary mirror shadow, making it suitable for terrestrial viewing when used with a 45° erecting image diagonal provided. The 80mm collects around 130 times as much light as your eyes compared to the 100x times as much as the 70mm model. More light means sharper, clearer views.
The AZ-Go2 Mount – Wi-Fi-controllable with iOS and Android and compatible with SynScan hand controller, allowing it for smooth tracking and alignment. Use Wi-Fi to control the telescope wirelessly with your mobile device; smartphone or tablet.
