What is the Astromaster 102AZ?

[Sting Rui]

Hi everyone and good afternoon, I recently checked the Astro Scientific Website and realised that there was a new model on sale- Astromaster 102AZ. After searching the Celestron Website, it appears that the model doesn't exist. Yet it's on sale. Curious, I went online to find reviews of these telescope. Unfortunately, the reviews doesn't exist either. Does anyone know what is this telescope? How is the performance of this telescope? Thanks to all the masters and experts here.

Interesting.

Its somewhat like how theres a red AstroMaster 130AZ when it does not appear on Celestron's official site.

hi, I suspect most likely cause is that the OEM company, Synta has yet to make a second production run for this 102mm Achromat.

First thing you need to do is change out the ball shaped "amici prism" diagonal.
It is limited in internal diameter (clear aperture) and makes small detail disappear when you push the magnification up.



42% less , this is not an endorsement of the specific product though , I think adults deserve better for the money.
