Skywatcher Skymax-127 and N-EQ3 mount 127mm 1500mm Maksutov telescope

Please also take pleasure in our purchase advice! Your wishes are important to us!

The Skywatcher BlackDiamond Maksutov with 127mm opening, 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.

Skywatcher Skymax-127 N-EQ3 127 / 150mm Maksutov

Applications:

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.

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 at a f / 12.1 f-number.

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.

The parallactic mount EQ3 with aluminum tripod:

The Maksutov is delivered including the astronomical mount EQ3. Also a height adjustable aluminum tripod (about 70cm to 130cm) belongs to this package. The EQ3 allows an astronomical precise positioning, which allows a sensitive tracking of the astronomical object on only one axis. This equipment remains very compact and portable.

A motor tracking as a supplement and a pole finder are optional and thus already allow beautiful results in astrophotography. All this for EQ3 please refer to "Accessories".

The advantages of the Skywatcher Mak 127:

- Compact design with high performance - ideal for transport
- Practical innnefocusing - no shaky focuser
- Flexible connection options
- Accepts Bino approaches without the need to balance the glass path
