Visit Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-150 HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan is a top-of-the-range Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope designed for advanced amateur astronomers and enthusiasts wishing to benefit from a powerful optics combined with a robust, precise equatorial mount. Thanks to its 150 mm and its long focal length, it is ideal for detailed observation of the Moon, planets and double stars, while maintaining its performance on bright deep-sky objects.
With a focal length of 1800 mm (f/12), This telescope is particularly well-suited to high-magnification observations. It offers a magnification of x64 with the eyepiece supplied and can reach a theoretical maximum magnification of x450 under the right conditions. This makes it possible to observe lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands and the details of Mars..
The SKYMAX-150 uses an optical design renowned for its exceptional image quality. Its closed tube limits internal turbulence and effectively protects optics from dust, guaranteeing greater image stability.
The primary and secondary mirrors feature the Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™), offering up to 94% reflectivity. This treatment improves light transmission and ensures bright, high-contrast, sharp images, while guaranteeing excellent durability.
Focusing is achieved by moving the primary mirror, enabling precise fine-tuning, essential to fully exploit the telescope's high-magnification capabilities.
The telescope is equipped with the HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan™ Go-To equatorial mount, an improved and modernized version of the famous HEQ5. This frame is designed to offer enhanced stability, improved tracking accuracy and optimized load capacity, to meet the needs of demanding observers.
It incorporates stepper motors on both axes, for smooth, precise movements. Thanks to the Go-To SynScan, you can access an extensive database and automatically point at thousands of celestial objects in a matter of seconds.
Once alignment has been carried out using the integrated polar viewfinder, the frame provides precise, stable tracking, It compensates for the Earth's rotation to keep objects centered in the field. Powered by a 12V DC, It is a reliable solution for both visual observation and astrophotography.
The SKYMAX-150 is supplied with a 2-inch 28 mm eyepiece, with a magnification of x64. Le 2” (50.8 mm) angled return improves viewing comfort, especially for objects high up in the sky.
Visit 9×50 optical finder with stand makes it easy to locate celestial objects, making telescope use more intuitive and efficient. All the accessories supplied make it easy to get to grips with the telescope, even for users wishing to move on to more advanced use.
It's all based on a 1.75” stainless steel tripod”, The integrated accessory tray adds further comfort to observation sessions. The integrated accessory tray adds extra comfort during observation sessions.
