Visit Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127 EQ3-2 is a catadioptric telescope of the Maksutov-Cassegrain type designed for demanding amateur astronomers who wish to combine the following features optical performance, compactness and ease of use. Ideal for observing planets, the Moon and double stars, Thanks to its long-focus optics and multi-coating, this model offers outstanding image quality.
With its diameter of 127 mm and its advanced design, this telescope captures 55% more light than a 102 mm model, for brighter, more detailed images. Its focal length of 1500 mm (f/11.81) enables high magnifications to be achieved while maintaining excellent contrast, perfect for observing lunar craters, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud bands..
The SKYMAX-127 is equipped with primary and secondary mirrors treated with Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™)guaranteeing reflectivity up to 94%. This treatment ensures optimum light transmission, improving the sharpness and precision of the details observed, while guaranteeing excellent durability over time.
Its primary mirror displacement focusing system enables fine, precise adjustment, essential for perfectly sharp images, especially when observing at high magnification.
The telescope is supplied with the EQ3-2 Deluxe equatorial mount, the ideal solution for tracking celestial objects with precision. Once correctly aligned on the polar axis, this mount compensates for the Earth's rotation by using the slow-motion flexibility, This makes it easier to follow the stars during observation.
This mount is particularly popular with beginners wishing to move on to more advanced observations, or even simple astrophotography. It is mounted on a sturdy aluminium tripod with accessory tray for stability and ease of use.
Despite its impressive performance, the SKYMAX-127 remains compact and easy to transport. It's an ideal choice for nomadic astronomers or those with limited space. Its closed design also protects the optics from dust and reduces internal turbulence, ensuring better image quality.
It comes with two 10 mm and 20 mm, offering magnifications of x150 and x75. The theoretical maximum magnification is x254, This is the perfect way to explore the brightest celestial objects.
The telescope includes a universal smartphone adapter, compatible with cameras from 54 to 90 mm wide. This accessory makes it easy to capture images of the Moon or planets directly from your phone, ideal for sharing your observations or getting started in astrophotography.
The red dot finder makes it easy to point out objects in the sky, making telescope use accessible even to beginners.
