The Levenhuk SkyMatic 105 GT MAK telescope with GoTo function has the Maksutov-Cassegrain design. This allows for excellent image quality with high resolution while maintaining a very compact size. Through this telescope you can observe lunar craters as small as 4.5 miles in diameter, the structure of sunspots, the belts of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. Among deep-sky objects, this telescope captures stars up to magnitude 12, globular clusters, nebulae and galaxies.
The telescope has an aperture of f/12.7, which is perfectly suited for most astronomical observations. The maximum usable magnification of 204x and high resolution will offer clear, good quality images.
The package includes two achromatic eyepieces, SUPER 10 and SUPER 25, with a diameter of 31.75 millimeters (1.25 inches) which act as a powerful image correction tool. The optics used in the eyepiece are made of glass with a special coating. Field of view of 50 – 52°.
The telescope is equipped with a computerized AZ 114 GT SynScan altazimuth mount. Thanks to the GoTo function, the telescope is able to capture, with incredible accuracy, any astronomical object based on the coordinates stored in the microprocessor memory. The computer will automatically guide you to more than 42,900 celestial objects. SkyMatic GoTo mounts are compatible with an external 12V battery pack.
