Sky-Watcher HAC125DX Minigraph - Ultra-fast Honders f/2 catadioptric astrograph

The Sky-Watcher HAC125DX Minigraph is a advanced catadioptric astrograph using optical design Honders, combining refractive and reflective surfaces to offer an ultra-fast, lightweight and compact instrument. With its f/2 ratio and its 250 mm focal length, it captures images up to 5× faster than a conventional f/4.9 lens, considerably reducing exposure times and often making autoguiding unnecessary.

Equipped with a Mangin primary mirror with treatment Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) and a treated corrector HTMC™, the HAC125DX delivers sharp, high-contrast images with limited diffraction and an image circle of 16 mm perfectly matched to cameras IMX533 and IMX585. Sound new helical focusing system on the primary lens extends compatibility with different camera models and simplifies focusing in real-life use.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What can you see with the Sky-Watcher HAC125DX?

Avec 125 mm de diamètre ouvert à f/2 et 250 mm de focale, c'est d'abord un instrument d'astrophotographie : avec une caméra, il est fait pour photographier les grandes nébuleuses, la Voie lactée et les grands amas, sur un champ très large.

Is it easy to carry?

Oui, c'est un instrument léger : le tube pèse environ 3 kg pour environ 40 cm de long.

Should we aim it at him?

Rarely: The lens is factory-calibrated. To check, look at the shape of the stars in the corners of the first few images.

Can we take pictures?

Oui, c'est sa vocation : il se monte sur une monture équatoriale motorisée (non fournie) avec une caméra astro ou un appareil photo. Ouvert à f/2, il collecte la lumière très vite : les poses restent courtes. Avec un tube d'environ 3 kg (sans accessoires), choisissez une monture dont la capacité de charge laisse de la marge.

What's in the box?

Tube optique HAC 125 mm f/2, pare-buée avec passage de câble, adaptateur 1,25″, adaptateur T2.

ZWO ASI585MC

Uncooled color camera used on the HAC125DX for wide-field imaging. Check the focus, connections, cable routing, and total weight in front of the tube; its 62-mm diameter extends beyond the 53-mm secondary mirror and increases the obstruction.
