Product Code: 10292
The Sky-Watcher StarTravel-120 AZ Pronto is a powerful yet highly portable refractor telescope designed for observers who want maximum performance with minimum setup. With a large 120mm aperture, fast f/5 optics, and an intuitive alt-azimuth mount, this is an ideal grab-and-go telescope for astronomy, wildlife observation, and beginner-friendly astrophotography.
Whether you’re exploring sweeping star fields, viewing the Moon and planets, or enjoying fully corrected daytime terrestrial views, the StarTravel-120 delivers bright, wide-field performance in a compact and easy-to-use package.
🌌 Wide-Field Performance for Night & Day
At the heart of the StarTravel-120 is a 120mm two-element, air-spaced achromatic refractor, offering 38% more light-gathering power than a 102mm telescope. This makes it especially effective for:
-
Rich-field views of star clusters and nebulae
-
Bright galaxies and comets
-
Detailed lunar observation
-
Planetary viewing at higher magnifications
-
Daytime terrestrial and nature observation
Themulti-coated objective lens enhances contrast and brightness, while the short 600mm focal length produces expansive views that are perfect for scanning the night sky.
Solar observing is possible only with a suitable full-aperture solar filter (not supplied).
⚙️ AZ Pronto Mount – Simple, Stable & Smooth
The AZ Pronto Alt-Azimuth mount is designed for effortless operation, making it ideal for beginners and casual observers alike. Slow-motion controls on both axes allow for precise tracking of celestial objects, while the deluxe stainless steel tripod ensures excellent stability.
A 21.5cm extension tube is included, allowing you to increase the working height when needed—particularly useful for comfortable terrestrial viewing.
