New SkyMax-102S AZ Pronto Telescope and Mount.

Easy to use, no fuss, grab-and-go telescope for visual astronomy and high-power daytime terrestrial observations.

Happy but....

19 January 2023 | Russell

...as this is the first telescope I've bought I won't be arrogant and inflict my opinion on the comparative qualities of the scope itself

Having said that, I'm happy with it and it's lived up my expectations garnered from the reviews that far more qualified individuals have posted online.

The scope was well packed and arrived promptly so 10/10 for FLO.

Mighty Mak

11 October 2022 | James

This is the perfect grab and go and travel scope. Multiple reviews led me to this scope and I'm glad that I did the research. Sure, like they said the star diagonal needs to be replaced as well as the 10mm eyepiece,but the contrast and sharp views of the moon and Jupiter made me smile.
I'm 74 and the light weight and ease of transport are important. It'll be perfect for our upcoming trip to Southern Morocco. And I'm looking forward to the sights to come...if the weather cooperates. Ahh astronomy in Scotland!
Thank you FLO. 😎

Really good

21 January 2022 | Neil

Bought this telescope a few weeks ago. My previous scope had a telrad red-dot-finder - but I thought I would try the RDF that comes with this telescope. Sadly I didn't get on with the RDF, so have now ordered and fitted a telrad - and it makes it easier for me to use.
Other than the Red dot finder that wasn't to my taste - everything else about this telescope is great. The mount build quality is really good, the tripod is stable and the viewing is incredible (full moon was amazing). The mount is also very easy to use and move about. The only other thing to consider is a 'dew shield' - they are also sold here on FLO website - will keep the dew off the lens.

Fast setup highly portable mount

15 May 2020 | Christopher

At last, a lightweight stable altaz mount with proper slow motion controls. I particularly like the extension column supplied and the speed with which you can exploit that gap in the clouds. The 102mm Maksutov performs well but as usual the eyepieces supplied leave a lot to be desired; fortunately, Maks aren't very fussy and almost anything else is a suitable upgrade. My Vixen Plossls work really well with this scope. Superb views of Moon and planets, can't wait to try it on Saturn.
