Designed for intermediate users, the Explore Scientific FirstLight AR102mm f/9.8 Refractor Telescope
is intended to take astronomic observation to the next level by
providing a complete setup for viewing the Moon, planets, and bright,
deep-sky objects like star clusters and galaxies. Its manual equatorial
mount has precise Right Ascension (RA) and Declination indicators to
find your subjects and dual slow-motion cables for tracking. As a more
advanced mount, it allows users to find just about any visible object by
just knowing its coordinates. After the scope has been properly Polar
Aligned, and the subject found, it can be easily tracked by making
slight adjustments to the RA axis.
An adjustable-height stainless
steel tripod provides a stable platform for sky-watching. The included
red-dot finder makes polar-alignment faster and is an essential tool for
quick observations and star-hopping sessions. An included 90° star
diagonal makes looking through the scope more comfortable, especially
when aiming the telescope toward the zenith. The 25mm eyepiece yields a
respectable 40x magnification, and with the included smartphone adapter
that sleeves over the eyepiece, users can easily take and share images
or video through the scope.
