Description

This Sky-Watcher 120mm (5") f/5 StarTravel telescope is a two-element, air- spaced, fully multi-coated objective achromatic refractor giving exciting "rich field" astronomical views. It provides excellent vistas of star fields, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets, the Moon and (with correct filtering or by projection) the Sun. It is also a fine terrestrial telescope when used with the provided 45 ° correct-image prism to correct for optical flip. Crisp images at a reasonable price make it an excellent beginner's "first telescope" or a great travelling telescope for the more advanced observer. When compared to similar 80mm f/5 refractors this larger aperture model has more light collecting power at the same focal ratio and accepts 2" diagonals for awesome wide field views with only a slight amount of chromatic aberration. Weighing only 8.6 pounds and only 22 inches long the optical tube assembly (telescope) is incredibly portable. Being a refractor it is quick and easy to set up and the low- maintenance enclosed optics come fully collimated from the factory. The optical tube assembly comes with "tube mounting rings". These open to allow easy installation of the tube. The locks can be loosened during use to allow tube rotation and balancing. The included AZ3 adjustable aluminum alt-az tripod combines easy portability with stability. Slow-motion controls on both the vertical (altitude) and horizontal (azimuth) axes for precise targeting. The large accessory tray provides a convenient storage place for eyepieces and other gear. StarTravel kits come with a 1 ¼ inch 45° erect image prism, 10 and 25mm super eyepieces, and red dot finder. The AZ3 mount has geared slow motion controls, adjustable aluminum legs, and an 11-pound payload capacity while weighing only 8 pounds.

  • skywatcher telescope
very well made and easy to use.

  • Very good for beginners
Much less hassle than computerized reflex scopes. Not as much magnification, but good enough for looking at planets. Lightweight, quick to move. My teen daughter uses it often and does not need help. Computerized are nice on paper, but heavier, have connectivity and app issues. This one is also inexpensive. ... show more

  • Sky Watcher Startravel 120mm
Okay, I have been using this telescope a few months now. I like the light weight and I can easily set the telescope up. The clarity has issues. I did buy another diagonal, expensive eyepieces, light filters, and the image improved some but I still can not see Jupiter with clarity. I do not believe it has the the ability to see nebula's because all I see is grainy dark when trying so maybe the focus is the issue. However, being my first scope it has been great to learn with learning planets and constellations. During daytime I could see the eye of a bird and bees on a branch several blocks away so it would make a great bird scope. ... show more

  • It’s just very good
I know reflectors are the end-all, be-all of recommendations when it comes to telescopes, but this unit (and the 102mm) is just good and easy. No need for pesky collimating. I feel this is a good starter scope for the average Joe or Jane. It’s easy to assemble and easy to use. I also feel the IQ is good for the backyard viewer. I feel you can upgrade certain things as needed. I plan on getting an automatic mount and a camera. (I used to own the 102mm but had to sell it to pay bills. I really enjoyed it) I bought a 90* attachment for this unit and I will buy some other eyepieces. I feel this is a great family scope for viewing the moon and planets. It won’t disappoint! ... show more

  • All hype!!!!!
This telescope is very overpriced. Impossible to get a clear view. I’ve tried many lenses and it doesn’t help. It is far to awkward to consider it for travel. Save your money or buy a different brand.

  • Excellent low cost achromatic refractor
I have used this 120 mm achromatic refractor extensively and have been able to get excellent images of deep sky objects. As a beginner I did not want to get a much more expensive apo refractor and wanted good light gathering ability-so 120 mm worked well. The optics on this telescope are very good-don't be misled by others-I have taken long exposures and have minimal distortion in the entire field. The stock eyepieces need to be upgraded-that is a given. The mount is OK, not great. I needed a motorized goto mount to track objects for astrophotography so had to replace this quite soon. I highly recommend the telescope as a very good bang for the buck. ... show more
