With its large <strong>180 mm<\/strong> and its long focal length, it is particularly well-suited to detailed observation of the <strong>Moon, planets and double stars<\/strong>, It also offers excellent performance on bright deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring an impressive focal length of <strong>2700 mm (f\/15)<\/strong>, This telescope is optimized for very high magnification observations. It can reach magnifications of <strong>x108 and x270<\/strong> with the eyepieces supplied, and can reach a theoretical maximum magnification of <strong>x540<\/strong> under ideal conditions. This level of power makes it possible to explore with remarkable precision the <strong>details of lunar craters, the divisions of Saturn's rings and Jupiter's atmospheric structures.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>High-precision Maksutov-Cassegrain optics<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-180 PRO uses an optical design renowned for its <strong>high resolution and exceptional contrast<\/strong>. Its closed tube reduces internal turbulence and effectively protects optics from dust, guaranteeing stable image quality.<\/p>\n<p>The primary and secondary mirrors are treated with <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>, offering up to <strong>94% reflectivity<\/strong>. This treatment optimizes light transmission and guarantees bright, sharp, high-contrast images, while ensuring excellent durability.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing by displacement of the primary mirror enables precise fine-tuning, essential for fully exploiting the capabilities of this high-magnification telescope.<\/p>\n<h3>EQ5 PRO SynScan Go-To mount: precision and automation<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope is equipped with the <strong>EQ5 PRO SynScan\u2122 Go-To equatorial mount<\/strong>, a high-performance motorized solution for automatically locating and tracking thousands of celestial objects.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its <strong>stepper motors on both axes<\/strong>, the frame ensures smooth, precise movements. Once aligned using the <strong>integrated polar viewfinder<\/strong>, It compensates for the Earth's rotation to keep objects centred in the field of vision.<\/p>\n<p>The SynScan snowshoe provides access to a vast database of celestial objects, making sky exploration simple and intuitive, even for users wishing to make rapid progress in astronomy.<\/p>\n<p>Operating with a power supply <strong>12V DC<\/strong>, This mount provides a solid basis for advanced visual observation and early experiments in astrophotography.<\/p>\n<h3>Observation comfort and equipment included<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-180 PRO comes with two high-quality eyepieces: a <strong>SP 10 mm<\/strong> and a <strong>LET 25 mm<\/strong>, which enables magnifications of <strong>x270 and x108<\/strong>. Le <strong>2\u201d (50.8 mm) angled return<\/strong> offers optimum viewing comfort, especially for objects at height.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>9\u00d750 optical finder<\/strong> makes it easy to spot celestial objects, while the quality of the accessories ensures a pleasant experience right from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>The system is based on a <strong>1.75\u201d stainless steel tripod\u201d<\/strong>, The integrated accessory tray adds extra comfort to your observation sessions.
