Sky-Watcher Skymax 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope

Sky-Watcher Skymax 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope

Q: Se pueden ver galaxias, nebulosas etc?

You can see galaxies and nebulae with the 102, although there won't be a lot of detail. Maksutov-Cassegrains of this aperture are suited better to planetary and lunar viewing. For what you're asking about, larger apertures (150mm, for example) would be better.

Q: I'm extremely new to everything astronomy, but if i were to get this telescope, what additional items would i need for astrophotography?

If astrophotography is your main goal a Maksutov telescope such as this would not be the best choice unless your interest is moon. Please contact our support department at 310-803-5966. They will be able to assist you with finding the best arrangement.

Q: The add says both the item and shipping weight are the same- 23 pounds. What is the actual weight of the tube (i.e. requred mount capacity)? Thanks!

If anyone is still wondering, I just weighed mine (180mm) and the OTA alone (without finderscope or eyepiece and diagonal) is 17 pounds.

Q: Photo shows side of ota says schotts optical glass. does this scope purchased thru amazon have this logo on the ota?

No, mine does not say schotte optical glass. It still performs nicely, but I was very angry when I realized this is a bait n switch product
