Sky-Watcher Startravel-120T (OTA) 4.75" Refractor Telescope

Sky-Watcher Startravel-120T (OTA) 4.75" Refractor Telescope - 10940

Ideal for Daytime Terrestrial Observations as well as Deep-Sky Astronomical Use.
Sky-Watcher STARTRAVEL telescopes are two-element, air-spaced achromatic refractors, that are well proven performers for ‘Rich-Field' views of comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies & planets, the Moon and the Sun (with proper safety filtering!), as well as giving excellent daytime terrestrial views. These wide-field, short-tube telescopes are great as fixed aperture lenses for both Astrophotography and terrestrial photography. Their "fast" focal ratios make them useful for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as nature photographs.

"Having tested and reviewed a wide range of astronomical telescopes over the last couple of decades, for me there's one manufacturer that's risen above the rest in terms of delivering a coherent range of uncompromising, well-conceived designs, embodying consistently good optics and sensibly engineered mounts at very competitive prices - that's Sky-Watcher!!"
