It is designed for users who want a reliable telescope that performs well across a wide range of observing targets. The 102mm aperture gathers significantly more light than smaller scopes, improving visibility of star clusters, nebulae, and planetary detail. The moderate focal length supports a wide field of view, making it easier to locate objects and maintain them in view. The Essential mount provides a more stable platform with smooth slow motion controls and adjustable positioning. The dual axis control system allows for precise tracking, while the mount’s design improves comfort when observing objects at different angles. SkyAssist compatibility adds a guided experience that helps users navigate the night sky more efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is an excellent choice for those who want a dependable, all around telescope that is easy to use and capable of delivering consistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"--eac-o-font-size: 14px; --eac-o-letter-spacing: -0.14px; --eac-o-line-height: 22.4px;\" data-end=\"1197\" data-start=\"787\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefractor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAperture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEssential alt-azimuth mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Controls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow motion controls (dual axis)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTripod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard tripod system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnhanced (compared to lightweight mounts)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate (balance of stability and weight)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTracking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual (slow motion control)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkyAssist supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-around (deep-sky, lunar, planetary)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEyepieces (varies by package), basic kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e102mm refractor telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepieces and accessories per package configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Manual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/pages\/explore-scientific-warranty\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore Scientific 1 Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48761308545253,"sku":"ES-AR102660-MAZ01-ST10","price":700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/sidara_essential_102_v2.webp?v=1775662431","url":"https:\/\/istronomyplus.com\/products\/explore-scientific-102mm-refractor-telescope-sky-assist","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
