Sky Watcher Starquest 90 MAK Astronomy Telescope with EQ-AZ Mount

Sky Watcher Starquest 90 MAK Astronomy Telescope with EQ-AZ Mount Description

The Starquest Series is a lightweight, 'grab-and-go' line that combines a newly created, expertly manufactured Equatorial/Alt-Azimuth mount with proven, premium Sky-Watcher telescope optics. With a maximum payload of 3 kg, the mount has a superior clutch system, precise 122 gear-tooth/360° gearing on both axes, and outstanding stability. The mount's smoothly operating slow motion control wires make it simple to track objects as they move across the night sky when it is equatorial mode and polar aligned. Alternately, the mount can be utilised in Alt-Azimuth mode, which makes it a perfect and adaptable mounting option for novices.

The compact yet powerful Starquest 90MC Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is perfect for observing bright planets and the Moon's surface details, as well as double stars. To enhance contrast and image sharpness, its long focal length, high-resolution optical system is multi-coated.  The Starquest 90MC comes with an adjustable aluminium tripod and an Equatorial/Alt-Azimuth Mount. Use the included Smartphone Camera Adaptor to take pictures of the stars with your smartphone!

Sky Watcher Deluxe Mirror Coatings
The majority of reflectors typically have an aluminium mirror surface coated with silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide for protection. Silicon dioxide creates a far more durable layer than silicon monoxide but requires specialist equipment to apply it and is consequently more expensive. Protection is required because most reflectors have a mirror that is exposed to the weather, and deterioration of the reflective layer lowers the telescope's resolution. For maximum durability and long-term performance, all Sky-Watcher reflectors are standard multi-coated with silicon dioxide.
