Ideal for observing <strong>planets, the Moon and double stars<\/strong>, Thanks to its long-focus optics and multi-coating, this model offers outstanding image quality.<\/p>\n<p>With its diameter of <strong>127 mm<\/strong> and its advanced design, this telescope captures <strong>55% more light than a 102 mm model<\/strong>, for brighter, more detailed images. Its focal length of <strong>1500 mm (f\/11.81)<\/strong> enables high magnifications to be achieved while maintaining excellent contrast, perfect for observing <strong>lunar craters, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud bands.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>High-resolution optics for sharp images<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-127 is equipped with primary and secondary mirrors treated with <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>guaranteeing <strong>reflectivity up to 94%<\/strong>. This treatment ensures optimum light transmission, improving the sharpness and precision of the details observed, while guaranteeing excellent durability over time.<\/p>\n<p>Its primary mirror displacement focusing system enables fine, precise adjustment, essential for perfectly sharp images, especially when observing at high magnification.<\/p>\n<h3>EQ3-2 equatorial mount: precise sky tracking<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope is supplied with the <strong>EQ3-2 Deluxe equatorial mount<\/strong>, 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 <strong>slow-motion flexibility<\/strong>, This makes it easier to follow the stars during observation.<\/p>\n<p>This mount is particularly popular with beginners wishing to move on to more advanced observations, or even simple astrophotography. It is mounted on a <strong>sturdy aluminium tripod<\/strong> with accessory tray for stability and ease of use.<\/p>\n<h3>A compact, versatile telescope<\/h3>\n<p>Despite its impressive performance, the SKYMAX-127 remains <strong>compact and easy to transport<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with two <strong>10 mm and 20 mm<\/strong>, offering magnifications of <strong>x150 and x75<\/strong>. The theoretical maximum magnification is <strong>x254<\/strong>, This is the perfect way to explore the brightest celestial objects.<\/p>\n<h3>Smartphone observation and astrophotography<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope includes a <strong>universal smartphone adapter<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n<p>The red dot finder makes it easy to point out objects in the sky, making telescope use accessible even to beginners.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical specifications of the Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127 EQ3-2<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical type<\/td>\n<td>Maksutov-Cassegrain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diameter<\/td>\n<td>127 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focal length<\/td>\n<td>1500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focus report<\/td>\n<td>f\/11.81<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Magnifications supplied<\/td>\n<td>x75 \/ x150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum magnification<\/td>\n<td>x254<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical treatment<\/td>\n<td>RAQ\u2122 (94% reflectivity)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eyepieces included<\/td>\n<td>10 mm and 20 mm (1.25\u2033)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Researcher<\/td>\n<td>red dot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Angled return<\/td>\n<td>1.25\u2033 \/ 31.7 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame<\/td>\n<td>EQ3-2 equatorial Deluxe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tripod<\/td>\n<td>Aluminium with accessory tray<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focusing<\/td>\n<td>By moving the primary mirror<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accessories included<\/td>\n<td>Universal smartphone adapter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Why choose the SKYMAX-127 EQ3-2?<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <strong>Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127 EQ3-2<\/strong> is an excellent compromise between <strong>power, precision and portability<\/strong>.
