About Explore Scientific FirstLight 100mm f/14

It's time to elevate your astronomical adventures with the FirstLight MAK100mm f/14 Tube Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope, a high-quality instrument designed for the avid stargazer. This durable and reliable telescope is part of the versatile FirstLight series, tailored to meet the needs of both novice and experienced astronomers.

Crafted with a substantial 4-inch (100mm) aperture, this advanced telescope allows a significant amount of light to pass through, resulting in brighter, clearer images of celestial wonders. The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design is renowned for its ability to provide sharp, high-contrast views, making it an excellent choice for observing the intricate details of the solar system as well as the mesmerizing depths of deep-sky objects.

The telescope is securely mounted on a sturdy EXOS Nano EQ3 German Equatorial Mount, engineered for precise tracking and smooth navigation of the night sky. The mount's equatorial design is particularly beneficial for extended stargazing sessions, as it compensates for the Earth's rotation and keeps your celestial target centered in the eyepiece.

The FirstLight MAK100mm comes with a suite of essential accessories to enhance your viewing experience. This includes a 1.25" 90-degree diagonal for comfortable observation angles, a Plossl 25mm eyepiece for wide-field views, and a red-dot finder to help you quickly locate objects in the sky. Additionally, the package features a smartphone camera adapter, enabling you to capture and share the awe-inspiring sights you encounter.

With a focal length of 1400mm and an f/14 focal ratio, this telescope is adept at magnifying distant objects while maintaining image brightness and clarity. The sleek white finish of the tube not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also reflects less light, making it suitable for use in low-light conditions.

The FirstLight MAK100mm f/14 Tube Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with EXOS Nano EQ3 German Equatorial Mount is a testament to Explore Scientific's commitment to producing advanced optical equipment. It's an investment in your passion for discovery, offering a complete package that only requires your curiosity and a clear night sky to embark on a journey across the cosmos.
