Sky-Watcher StarTravel 102 AZ-GTe 102mm f/5 Refractor GoTo AZ Telescope features a large 102mm refractor optical tube assembly (OTA) that is ideal for lunar exploration, planetary viewing, and enjoying bright deep-sky objects. The AZ-GTe has an integrated WiFi module that generates its own local network signal to allow wireless control via a smartphone running their free SynScan Pro app for Android and iOS devices.

The companion app is intuitively laid out for easy setup, navigation, and exploration of the sky—even if you've never looked through a telescope before. Packed with over 42,900 objects with daytime and nighttime alignment-assistance procedures, plus advanced features such as periodic error correction (PEC), backlash compensation, tours, and DSLR camera control, the SynScan app is a powerful yet easy-to-use way to control the mount.

Supporting the mount is an adjustable-height aluminum tripod. The AZ-GTe comes with a pier extension that is located between the tripod and mount head to provide additional height for easier viewing without sacrificing stability when the OTA is aimed at or near the zenith.

To get you started right out of the box, Sky-Watcher provides two eyepiece that give you high and low power, a star diagonal, and a red-dot finder.

Optical Tube Assembly

Highly portable and easy-to-use telescope and mount combination is ideal for beginners or as a simple grab-and-go rig for off-the-grid observations
Refractor optical design is extremely reliable and requires very little regular maintenance by the user
Large 102mm objective lens produces clear views of the moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects
500mm f/5 focal length maintains a compact and portable form factor for easier transport and storage
Anti-reflection multi-coated optics maximize light transmission to ensure bright and clear views
Single speed rack-and-pinion focuser
Large 2" eyepiece/accessory holder with a 1.25" reducer adapter to use the smaller and more common size accessories
1.25" star diagonal places the user's head in comfortable viewing position, especially when the telescope is aimed high overhead
25mm eyepiece produces a low 20x power, ideal for viewing the moon and surveying constellations
High-power 10mm eyepiece yields 50x power
Simple red-dot finder makes alignment fast and easy

SynScan App

Free app for Android and iOS devices
Align, move, and control mount wirelessly
Automatic day, date, time, and location using the device's GPS unit
42,900+ object database, similar to the conventional SynScan hand controller
Sky tour shows best deep-sky objects visible at a specific day/date/time
Solar, lunar, sidereal tracking rates
Slew speeds: 0.5x, 1x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, 400x, 600x, Max (800x/3.4°/sec)
Assisted nighttime and daytime alignment procedures
Periodic error correction (PEC) allows user to train out intrinsic tracking errors and save them into the permanent memory to improve GoTo and tracking accuracy over time
Backlash compensation eliminates the backlash experienced when gears stop and settle for improved GoTo and slewing accuracy
DSLR shutter release and exposure control enable long-exposure, time-lapse, and other advanced astrophotography techniques to be controlled by the app through the SNAP port on mount
