Skywatcher Skymax-127 and N-EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount 127mm 1500mm Maksutov Telescope

The Optics Skywatcher MC 127/1500:

a portable and powerful telescope. The 127mm opening collects 60 ° more light than a telescope with 100mm opening. It remains due to its length of only 33cm transportable. This system nevertheless offers a large focal length of 1500mm.

Astronomical observations: The Maksutov has a sharp and diffraction-limited
Optics. The light gathering power provides enough to light faint fog,
Show star clusters and galaxies. The focus is on the given focal length and the resulting possible magnification but at moon, planets and with a corresponding filter (never without a filter in the sun look!) Our central star with the sunspots.

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.

Spotting scope for nature observations: The Maksutov can also be used during the day. Here he also shows his sharp and contrasting image.
A bright picture at a higher magnification lets nature lovers and animal watchers get their money's worth. You will be enthusiastic!

Photography: This telescope has an integrated T2 port, the adaptation of cameras is possible.
You have a powerful extreme telephoto lens with 1500mm focal length with a f-number of F / 12,1. With the GoTo - mount you can track the target object and can with moon and planets, if necessary. the sun with a suitable filter (pay attention!), Record videos that you can work with the editing programs to the best pictures. Here you can also ask us, we are happy to advise you!


Skywatcher Skymax-127 N-EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo

The advantages at a glance:

Compact optics with long focal length and 127mm opening
Photo tripod threaded connection 1/4 ''
High contrast illustration
Also nature observation and photography possible


The mount NEQ-3 Pro Goto:

This mount is an evolution of the EQ-3 Pro in white design. It provides a solid foundation for most mid-sized optics and is well suited for beautiful night sky walks. The pole height of the observation site can be adjusted via a fine scale and perfectly fixed with two screws. A Polsucher can be retrofitted as an option. Completely equipped with motors in both axes and SynScan hand control box, you get a complete GoTo mount: The NEQ-3 is not only suitable for visual observation, but also for the entry into astrophotography. With a little practice succeed in pictures of fog objects and galaxies.
