With its diameter of <strong>180 mm<\/strong> and its long focal length, it excels in detailed observation of the <strong>Moon, planets and double stars<\/strong>, It also offers excellent performance on bright deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n<p>Its focal length of <strong>2700 mm (f\/15)<\/strong> makes it ideal for very high magnification observations. It provides magnifications of <strong>x108 and x270<\/strong> with the eyepieces supplied, and can reach a theoretical maximum magnification of <strong>x540<\/strong> under optimum conditions. You'll be able to observe <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 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, ensuring 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 guarantees 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>EQ6-R PRO SynScan mount: stability and professional precision<\/h3>\n<p>The telescope is equipped with the <strong>EQ6-R PRO SynScan\u2122 Go-To equatorial mount<\/strong>, a benchmark in the field of advanced amateur astronomy. Designed to withstand heavy loads, it offers a <strong>exceptional stability and tracking accuracy<\/strong>, ideal for observation and long exposure astrophotography.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its <strong>stepper motors on both axes<\/strong> and its optimized transmission system, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Once aligned using the <strong>integrated polar viewfinder<\/strong>, the mount compensates for the Earth's rotation to keep objects perfectly centred in the field.<\/p>\n<h3>Observation comfort and equipment included<\/h3>\n<p>The SKYMAX-180 PRO is supplied with two 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> improves viewing comfort, especially for objects located at height.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>9\u00d750 optical finder<\/strong> with stand makes it easy to locate 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>2\u201d stainless steel tripod\u201d<\/strong>, This ensures maximum rigidity and excellent stability, even when observing at very high magnification or in astrophotography.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical specifications Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-180 PRO EQ6-R PRO SynScan<\/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>180 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focal length<\/td>\n<td>2700 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focus report<\/td>\n<td>f\/15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Magnifications supplied<\/td>\n<td>x108 \/ x270<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum magnification<\/td>\n<td>x540<\/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>SP 10 mm &amp; LET 25 mm (1.25\u201d)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Researcher<\/td>\n<td>9\u00d750 with stand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Angled return<\/td>\n<td>2\u201d \/ 50.8 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame<\/td>\n<td>EQ6-R PRO SynScan\u2122 Go-To<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motors<\/td>\n<td>Double axis step-by-step<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power supply<\/td>\n<td>12V DC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tripod<\/td>\n<td>2\u201d stainless steel with tray<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focusing<\/td>\n<td>By moving the primary mirror<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Polar viewfinder<\/td>\n<td>Integrated stand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Why choose the SKYMAX-180 PRO EQ6-R PRO SynScan?<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <strong>Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-180 PRO EQ6-R PRO SynScan<\/strong> is the instrument of choice for astronomers wishing to reach expert level.
