With its diameter of <strong>180 mm<\/strong> and its long focal length, it is particularly effective for detailed observation of the <strong>Moon, planets and double stars<\/strong>, The result is a very high level of performance, while still offering excellent deep-sky luminosity.<\/p>\n<p>Its long focal length of <strong>2700 mm (f\/15)<\/strong> makes it ideal for very high magnification observations. It can reach magnifications of <strong>x108 and x270<\/strong> with the eyepieces supplied, up to a theoretical maximum magnification of <strong>x540<\/strong> under optimum conditions. You'll be able to observe <strong>lunar structures, Saturn's ring divisions and Jupiter's atmospheric details.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>High-precision Maksutov-Cassegrain optics<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-180 PRO is based on an optical design renowned for its <strong>high resolution and excellent contrast<\/strong>. Its closed tube limits internal turbulence and effectively protects optics from dust, guaranteeing stable, long-lasting image quality.<\/p>\n<p>The primary and secondary mirrors are treated <strong>Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz (RAQ\u2122)<\/strong>, offering up to <strong>94% reflectivity<\/strong>. This technology optimizes light transmission and ensures bright, sharp, high-contrast images.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing by displacement of the primary mirror enables precise, progressive adjustment, essential for fully exploiting the telescope's high-magnification capabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan mount: professional precision and stability<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope is equipped with the <strong>HEQ-5 R PRO SynScan\u2122 Go-To equatorial mount<\/strong>, a modern evolution of the famous HEQ5. This enhanced version offers <strong>enhanced stability, optimized mechanics and superior tracking accuracy<\/strong>, perfectly suited to the needs of advanced astronomers.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its <strong>stepper motors on both axes<\/strong>, The frame guarantees smooth, precise movements. The <strong>Go-To SynScan<\/strong> allows <strong>automatically point at thousands of celestial objects<\/strong> via a comprehensive database, making sky exploration simple and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Once aligned using the <strong>integrated polar viewfinder<\/strong>, the frame provides <strong>precise monitoring<\/strong> compensating for the Earth's rotation. This makes it ideally suited to advanced visual observation and to the\u2019<strong>long exposure astrophotography<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Operating with a power supply <strong>12V DC<\/strong>, The HEQ-5 R PRO is a reliable, robust and scalable solution for astronomers wishing to invest in high-performance equipment.<\/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>, allowing magnifications of <strong>x270 and x108<\/strong>. Le <strong>2\u201d (50.8 mm) angled return<\/strong> ensures optimum viewing comfort, especially for objects high up in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>9\u00d750 optical finder<\/strong> with support makes it easier to locate celestial objects, making telescope use more intuitive and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>The system is based on a <strong>1.75\u201d stainless steel tripod\u201d<\/strong>, The integrated accessory tray enhances comfort during observation sessions.
