Sky-Watcher K100 Mini Virtuoso Gti Klevtsov-Cassegrain Telescope
The Sky-Watcher K100 Mini Virtuoso Gti Klevtsov-Cassegrain Telescope is a compact 100mm f10 that feels at home on a small table or its lightweight tripod. Its folded optical path gives a long 1000mm reach in a body you can lift with one hand, making lunar detail, bright planets and double stars easy targets. Once aligned through the SynScan app, it slews accurately under Wi-Fi control and keeps objects steady while you observe or frame a quick smartphone photo.

FAQs:
How portable is the Mini Virtuoso GTi for casual observing?
The optical tube weighs under 1.7kg, and the whole setup, including the tripod, weighs 4.4kg, so it’s easy to move outside in one hand. The tabletop mount is handy when you want a very small footprint, such as on a balcony or picnic bench. Both setups feel stable enough for moderate magnifications.
How accurate is Go-To pointing with the SynScan app?
Accuracy depends on a careful alignment. Using two or three bright stars usually gives reliable slewing across the sky, placing most targets in the field of a 20mm eyepiece. The app’s Pointing Accuracy Enhancement makes further refinements once you are centred on an object.
Does the telescope track smoothly for smartphone imaging?
Yes. Dual-axis tracking holds the Moon or a planet steady enough for short smartphone exposures or video clips. The supplied adaptor keeps the phone aligned behind the eyepiece, and the tracking removes the need for constant manual nudging.
What power options work best for the mount?
The mount runs on 8 AA batteries, which is convenient for quick sessions, though an external 11-13V DC supply gives more consistent performance for longer nights. Using fresh alkalines or rechargeable NiMH cells helps the motors slew and track smoothly.
Can I use the telescope with desktop or mobile planetarium software?
Yes. The built-in Wi-Fi works with ASCOM on Windows and with several mobile apps, such as SkySafari Plus/Pro, via the SynScan link. This allows you to select objects directly from a star chart and send Go-To commands through the same wireless connection.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
