The Explore Scientific Sidara Nano 90mm is a compact beginner refractor telescope paired with the app-guided SkyAssist mount. Its 90mm lens and 700mm focal length (f/7.8) give sharp, contrasty views of the Moon and planets in a light, portable package — and the SkyAssist system takes the frustration out of finding objects for a first-time stargazer.

Using your smartphone, SkyAssist works out where the telescope is pointing and guides you to any target you choose, so you can go from setup to your first clear view of Saturn in minutes.

Who it's for: Beginners and families who want an easy, portable first refractor with smartphone help finding objects. New to buying a scope? Start with our guide to picking your first telescope.

  • 90mm aperture: sharp, high-contrast views of the Moon and planets.
  • SkyAssist app guidance: your phone helps locate and centre targets for stress-free observing.
  • f/7.8 optics: 700mm focal length well suited to lunar and planetary detail.
  • Compact and portable: light and quick to set up for travel and quick sessions.
  • Complete package: optical tube and mount together, ready to observe.

What you'll see: The 90mm lens shows crisp lunar craters and mountains, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud belts and Galilean moons, and the phases of Venus. Brighter star clusters and double stars look sharp; fainter deep-sky objects appear dimmer but are visible from darker skies.
