SKYWATCHER TELESCOPIC SKYMAX 127 AZ5 Maksutov on AZ mount

SKYWATCHER TELESCOPE MAKSUTOV CASSEGRAIN 127 WITH AZ5 MOUNTING

The ideal, uncomplicated mount to have always with you, perfect for both the easy and simple visual astronomical observation, as well as terrestrial observations during the day! With a powerful 127 mm Skymax 127 Maksutov Cassegrain telescope in a bundle.

The azimuthal AZ5 Deluxe Mount is made of solid cast aluminum for smaller telescopes up to 5 kg in weight, which can easily be fixed with a Vixen / Skywatcher standard dovetail rail. You can also use other devices with an optional L-holder. It comes with an aluminum tripod that can be locked in any height and a short extension column. In addition, there are two flexible shafts for actuating the fine reductions. You can also move the mount manually in each axis for fast pan in both horizontal and vertical directions.

The compact but powerful Skymax 127 Telescope is ideal for observing binary stars, surface details of the moon or bright planets. Its high-resolution, long-focal optics are multi-layer tempered for maximum contrast and sharpness.

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.
