Thanks to its <strong>150 mm<\/strong> and its long focal length, it is ideal for detailed observation of the <strong>Moon, planets and double stars<\/strong>, while maintaining its performance on bright deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n<p>With a focal length of <strong>1800 mm (f\/12)<\/strong>, This telescope is particularly well-suited to high-magnification observations. It offers a magnification of <strong>x64<\/strong> with the eyepiece supplied and can reach a theoretical maximum magnification of <strong>x450<\/strong> under the right conditions. This makes it possible to observe <strong>lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands and the details of Mars.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>High-resolution Maksutov-Cassegrain optics<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-150 uses an optical design renowned for its <strong>exceptional image quality<\/strong>. Its closed tube limits internal turbulence and effectively protects optics from dust, guaranteeing greater image stability.<\/p>\n<p>The primary and secondary mirrors feature the <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>, offering up to <strong>94% reflectivity<\/strong>. This treatment improves light transmission and ensures bright, high-contrast, sharp images, while guaranteeing excellent durability.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing is achieved by moving the primary mirror, enabling precise fine-tuning, essential to fully exploit the telescope's high-magnification capabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan mount: next-generation robustness and precision<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope is equipped with the <strong>HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan\u2122 Go-To equatorial mount<\/strong>, an improved and modernized version of the famous HEQ5. This frame is designed to offer <strong>enhanced stability, improved tracking accuracy and optimized load capacity<\/strong>, to meet the needs of demanding observers.<\/p>\n<p>It incorporates <strong>stepper motors on both axes<\/strong>, for smooth, precise movements. Thanks to the <strong>Go-To SynScan<\/strong>, you can access an extensive database and <strong>automatically point at thousands of celestial objects<\/strong> in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Once alignment has been carried out using the <strong>integrated polar viewfinder<\/strong>, the frame provides <strong>precise, stable tracking<\/strong>, It compensates for the Earth's rotation to keep objects centered in the field. Powered by a <strong>12V DC<\/strong>, It is a reliable solution for both visual observation and astrophotography.<\/p>\n<h3>Comfortable viewing and accessories included<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-150 is supplied with a <strong>2-inch 28 mm eyepiece<\/strong>, with a magnification of <strong>x64<\/strong>. Le <strong>2\u201d (50.8 mm) angled return<\/strong> improves viewing comfort, especially for objects high up in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>9\u00d750 optical finder<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>It's all based on a <strong>1.75\u201d stainless steel tripod\u201d<\/strong>, The integrated accessory tray adds further comfort to observation sessions.
