Skywatcher Startravel Refracting Telescopes

Compact Rich Field Scopes designed for maximum portability.
FREE delivery to all UK mainland addresses on all these scopes!

The compact Sky-Watcher STARTRAVEL series are two-element, air-spaced, multi-coated objective, achromatic refractors, and are well proven performers for "Rich-Field" views of star fields, clusters, nebulae, bright galaxies, planets, the Moon and, the Sun (with correct safety filtering!), as well as giving excellent terrestrial views. These wide-field short-tube telescopes are also highly portable. They also are popular for use as guide scopes on larger telescopes. All models excel as fixed aperture lenses for both Astrophotography and terrestrial photography. Their "fast" focal ratios combined with today’s high-speed films make them useful for capturing lunar and solar eclipses as well as nature photographs. Tube material: Aluminium.

The Startravel telescopes are all available on mounts but the 80mm and 102mm are available as optical tubes only for mounting on a camera tripod or onto a bigger scope to be used as guidescope.
