Skywatcher 1025 STARTRAVEL Refractor Telescope is a 102 mm achromatic refractor designed for wide-field observing in a compact, easy-to-transport format. With a 500 mm focal length and fast f/4.9 focal ratio, the Skywatcher 1025 STARTRAVEL Refractor Telescope offers a short optical tube that is convenient to store and carry, while still delivering a broad view through standard eyepieces.

Built for both astronomy and daytime nature viewing, this model is well suited to observing the Moon, planets, comets, star fields, star clusters, nebulae and bright galaxies, with proper solar filtering required for Sun viewing. It is supplied with the AZ Pronto mount, providing stable support and fine tracking adjustment knobs for smooth movement on both the horizontal and vertical axes.

The refractor optical design produces a classic viewing experience with sharp image quality and no secondary mirror shadow, making it suitable for terrestrial use when paired with the included 45¡ erect-image diagonal. The Skywatcher 1025 STARTRAVEL Refractor Telescope is a versatile option for users looking for a compact refractor with a practical accessory package.
