Celestron Astro-Fi 102 Telescope Maksutov-Cassegrain

The Celostron Astro Fi 102 Refractor Telescope is a 102mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with an Altazimuth mount . The Maksutov design allows to obtain greater power in magnifications, this is   ideal for planetary observation in detail. Up to here it could be a basic initiation telescope, but in it we found a novelty that has not been developed until now, the possibility of controlling the telescope from your mobile device through the wi-fi connection.

The SkyPortal application for Android and IOS will allow you to configure the control of your telescope, which already has an integrated Wi-Fi communication system. To start the observation you will only need three celestial points , no matter what they are, and he will automatically calculate your position, from here the same function of SkyAlign will take you on a tour of space. This telescope allows memorizing up to 120,000 celestial objects .
The multi-coated optics of this telescope follow the quality of Celestron, incorporating two eyepieces , 10 and 25mm (132 and 53X). The focal length is 1325mm and the focal ratio is 13 . Therefore, it is a suitable instrument for planetary observation in more detail than with the 90mm refractor version. The search engine is of the StarPointer model.
The kit comes complete with an Altazimuth fork mount , similar to that of the Celestron LCM series, and a very stable aluminum tripod .
