Visit Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-180 PRO HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan is a top-of-the-range Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope designed for demanding astronomers who want to take advantage of a exceptional optical power combined with a new-generation equatorial mount. With its diameter of 180 mm and its long focal length, it is particularly effective for detailed observation of the Moon, planets and double stars, The result is a very high level of performance, while still offering excellent deep-sky luminosity.
Its long focal length of 2700 mm (f/15) makes it ideal for very high magnification observations. It can reach magnifications of x108 and x270 with the eyepieces supplied, up to a theoretical maximum magnification of x540 under optimum conditions. You'll be able to observe lunar structures, Saturn's ring divisions and Jupiter's atmospheric details..
The SKYMAX-180 PRO is based on an optical design renowned for its high resolution and excellent contrast. Its closed tube limits internal turbulence and effectively protects optics from dust, guaranteeing stable, long-lasting image quality.
The primary and secondary mirrors are treated Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™), offering up to 94% reflectivity. This technology optimizes light transmission and ensures bright, sharp, high-contrast images.
Focusing by displacement of the primary mirror enables precise, progressive adjustment, essential for fully exploiting the telescope's high-magnification capabilities.
The telescope is equipped with the HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan™ Go-To equatorial mount, a modern evolution of the famous HEQ5. This enhanced version offers enhanced stability, optimized mechanics and superior tracking accuracy, perfectly suited to the needs of advanced astronomers.
Thanks to its stepper motors on both axes, The frame guarantees smooth, precise movements. The Go-To SynScan allows automatically point at thousands of celestial objects via a comprehensive database, making sky exploration simple and efficient.
Once aligned using the integrated polar viewfinder, the frame provides precise monitoring compensating for the Earth's rotation. This makes it ideally suited to advanced visual observation and to the’long exposure astrophotography.
Operating with a power supply 12V DC, The HEQ-5 R PRO is a reliable, robust and scalable solution for astronomers wishing to invest in high-performance equipment.
The SKYMAX-180 PRO comes with two high-quality eyepieces: a SP 10 mm and a LET 25 mm, allowing magnifications of x270 and x108. Le 2” (50.8 mm) angled return ensures optimum viewing comfort, especially for objects high up in the sky.
Visit 9×50 optical finder with support makes it easier to locate celestial objects, making telescope use more intuitive and efficient.
The system is based on a 1.75” stainless steel tripod”, The integrated accessory tray enhances comfort during observation sessions. The integrated accessory tray enhances comfort during observation sessions.
