Explore Scientific Firstight 100mm Mak-Cassegrain with Twilight Nano Mount

Want a great way to adventure through the night sky? Are you looking for a telescope that will help you take incredible ganders at lunar details and planetary features? With this Explore Scientific FirstLight Maksutov Cassegrain telescope, you will get just that! The design of this telescopes is fantastic for visual use and planetary photography. The Mak-Cass has a 100 mm aperture and folded optics, making this telescope capable of capturing views of deep sky objects without the long and hard to transport design of a Newtonian reflector or refractor with the same focal length. This refracting telescope setup is complete with a smartphone adapter, one 25mm Plossl eyepiece, a red dot viewfinder, and a 1.25" 90° diagonal.

Included with this Mak-Cass FirstLight telescope is the Twilight Nano Alt-Azimuth Mount and a sturdy steel ST1 tripod with 1.25" diameter legs with a minimum height of 25.5" and a maximum height of 45". Included handle enables smooth movements.

The Explore Twilight Nano is designed to conveniently accept modest scopes, such as small Mak-Cassegrains, small refractors, small solar scopes, and, naturally, the ED80. As the weight of your telescope is not over 14 pounds and has a Vixen-style Universal Dovetail bar for mounting the optical tube to the mount head, you are set.
