Skywatcher Skymax-127T OTA: powerful, compact 127 mm Maksutov optical tube for planetary observation

Visit Skywatcher Skymax-127T OTA is a Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tube combining power, precision and compactness. Designed for demanding astronomers, it offers outstanding performance in planetary and lunar observation, while remaining easy to transport.

Thanks to its 127 mm diameter and long focal length, this telescope achieves a high level of detail and contrast, ideal for exploring the brightest objects in the night sky.

127 mm Maksutov optics: high resolution and advanced performance

Featuring a 127 mm and a focal length of 1500 mm (f/11.8), The Skymax-127T is designed for high-magnification observations. Its Maksutov-Cassegrain optical formula effectively corrects aberrations and guarantees sharp, high-contrast images rich in detail.

The mirrors are treated Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™), offering up to 94 % reflectivity, which improves the brightness and durability of the optical system.

This telescope is particularly effective for :

• detailed observation of the lunar surface
• planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
• double stars thanks to its high resolution

With a theoretical maximum magnification of x254, It allows you to fully exploit the capabilities of your optics.

Compact size for maximum power

Despite its high performance, the Skymax-127T remains compact and easy to transport. Its closed design and folded focal length allow you to benefit from a powerful instrument without the bulk of a conventional telescope of the same focal length.

Ideal for :

• observations on the move
• users looking for a high-performance yet space-saving instrument
• quick installation without constraints

Compatible with photography and versatile observation

The Skymax-127T is supplied with a universal smartphone adapter, It's easy to capture images of the Moon and planets. It's an excellent way to get started in astrophotography without complex equipment.

Thanks to its long focal length, it is also suitable for long-distance terrestrial observation.

Focusing is carried out by a system of moving the primary mirror, offering precision and flexibility.

Highly compatible and easy to install

The optical tube has a 45 mm Sky-Watcher/Vixen dovetail, compatible with many frames on the market. It is also equipped with a standard 1/4″-20 thread, This allows it to be mounted on a photo tripod.

This dual compatibility offers great freedom of use, from simple portable mounting to more advanced configuration.

Accessories included

The Skymax-127T OTA comes with a complete set of accessories:

• 20 mm and 10 mm (1.25″) eyepieces
• 90° (1.25″) elbow return
• red dot researcher
• universal smartphone adapter (54 to 90 mm)

These accessories provide magnifications of x75 and x150, perfectly suited to detailed observations.

A high-performance, upgradeable telescope

The Skymax-127 is an excellent choice for astronomers looking for a compact yet powerful instrument. It offers performance close to that of larger models, while remaining easy to use and transport.

It can also be upgraded with additional accessories (eyepieces, filters, motorized mounts) to take your astronomy even further.
