The Levenhuk SkyMatic 105 GT MAK telescope with GoTo function has a Maksutov-Cassegrain design. This allows excellent image quality with high resolution while maintaining a very compact size. With this telescope, you can observe lunar craters as small as 4.5 miles in diameter, the structure of sunspots, the bands 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 suitable for most astronomical observations. The maximum useful magnification of 204x and the high resolution will provide sharp images of good quality.
The package includes two achromatic eyepieces, SUPER 10 and SUPER 25, with a diameter of 31.75 millimeters (1.25 inches) that serve as a powerful image correction tool. The optics used in the eyepiece are glass with a special coating. Field of view of 50 – 52°.
The telescope is equipped with a computerized altazimuth mount AZ 114 GT SynScan. Thanks to the GoTo function, the telescope can capture any astronomical object with incredible accuracy based on coordinates stored in the microprocessor memory. The computer will automatically guide the user to more than 42,900 celestial objects. The SkyMatic GoTo mounts are compatible with an external 12 V battery pack.
