Sky-Watcher StarTravel-120 (AZ Pronto) 120mm f/5 Refractor Telescope

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

The multi-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.

📱 Ready for Imaging & Smartphone Astrophotography

The StarTravel-120 is well suited to entry-level imaging:

  • Direct DSLR connection capability

  • Universal smartphone camera adaptor included (fits phones 54–90mm wide)

  • Fast f/5 optics ideal for wide-field lunar, eclipse, and nature photography

This makes it a versatile option for users who want to experiment with astrophotography without complex setups.

🔍 Included Accessories

Everything you need to get started is included:

  • 10mm & 20mm 1.25" photo/visual eyepieces

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
