Visit Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127 EQ3 PRO SynScan is a compact, high-performance catadioptric telescope designed for astronomy enthusiasts who want to combine outstanding optical quality and automated pointing technology. Ideal for observing planets, the Moon and double stars, It delivers images rich in detail and remarkable contrast.
Thanks to its 127 mm, this telescope captures 55% more light than a 102 mm model, for brighter, more precise observations. Its long focal length of 1500 mm (f/11.81) is particularly well-suited to high-magnification observations, ideal for admiring lunar craters, Saturn's rings or Jupiter's atmospheric details.
The SKYMAX-127 is based on an optical design Maksutov-Cassegrain, renowned for its high resolution and excellent contrast. The primary and secondary mirrors are treated Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™), offering up to 94% reflectivity. This treatment guarantees optimum light transmission and increased durability, even after many years of use.
The primary mirror displacement focusing system enables precise adjustment, essential for sharp images at high magnification.
The real strength of this version lies in its EQ3 PRO SynScan™ Go-To mount, fully motorized and controlled by an intelligent control system. It enables automatically point more than 42,900 celestial objects, including catalogs Messier, NGC and IC.
Thanks to this technology, simply select an object and the telescope will automatically track it, making astronomy accessible even to beginners. The motorized tracking function also makes it possible to keep object centered in field, compensating for the Earth's rotation.
This mount is ideal for observers wishing to save time during installation and enjoy the night sky straightaway, without the need for in-depth knowledge of the constellations. It's also an excellent starting point for astrophotography.
Despite its power, the SKYMAX-127 remains compact and easy to transport. Its closed design protects optics from dust and limits internal turbulence, guaranteeing more stable, high-contrast images.
The sturdy aluminum tripod with accessory tray ensures stability during observations, while the integrated polar finder holder facilitates precise alignment of the mount.
The telescope is supplied with two eyepieces of 10 mm and 20 mm, which enables magnifications of x150 and x75. The theoretical maximum magnification of x254 allows you to explore the finest details of luminous celestial objects.
A universal smartphone adapter is included, compatible with cameras from 54 to 90 mm wide. It makes it easy to capture images of the Moon and planets, ideal for sharing observations or getting started in astrophotography without complex equipment.
The red dot viewfinder makes it easy to point out objects initially, making telescope use intuitive even for beginners.
