The Explore Scientific Sidara Essential 102 places a 102mm doublet refractor on the stable Essential alt-az mount with SkyAssist smartphone navigation, creating a versatile system equally at home on the Moon, the planets, and open clusters.
The Essential mount’s dual-axis slow-motion controls allow precise tracking, and the included erect-image diagonal makes the system practical for daytime terrestrial viewing as well.

- Essential alt-az mount with dual-axis slow-motion controls for precise, stable tracking
