The Explore Scientific Sidara Pro 102mm is a motorized GoTo refractor telescope that finds and tracks objects automatically through the SkyAssist system. Pick a target in the app and the mount's motors slew the telescope to it and keep it centred as the sky moves — turning a big, capable 102mm (4-inch) refractor into a genuinely effortless observing experience.

Its 102mm lens and 660mm focal length (f/6.5) give bright, sharp views of the Moon, planets and brighter deep-sky objects, while the GoTo mount removes the hardest part of astronomy for beginners: actually locating things.

Who it's for: Beginners and casual observers who want a larger refractor that finds and tracks objects for them. Want to understand automated scopes first? Read our guide to GoTo vs manual telescopes.

  • Motorized GoTo mount: automatically slews to and tracks objects you pick in the app.
  • SkyAssist smart navigation: guided alignment and an extensive object catalogue.
  • 102mm f/6.5 optics: a 4-inch lens with 660mm focal length for bright, versatile views.
  • Automatic tracking: keeps targets centred for relaxed viewing and easy sharing.
  • Complete package: optical tube and GoTo mount together, ready to observe.

What you'll see: The 102mm lens shows detailed lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's belts and moons, and the phases of Venus, all held steady by automatic tracking. It also reaches bright star clusters, double stars and the brighter nebulae and galaxies, especially under darker skies.

What does GoTo mean?
A GoTo mount uses motors and an object database to automatically drive the telescope to a target you select and track it across the sky.

Is this a good first telescope?
Yes — a larger 102mm lens plus automatic finding and tracking makes it easy for beginners to see a lot, fast.

Do I need to align it each night?
A quick guided alignment in the SkyAssist app sets it up; after that the mount locates and follows objects for you.

Can I photograph through it?
It's built for visual use and casual lunar snaps; long-exposure deep-sky imaging needs a tracking equatorial mount.
