The highly acclaimed Skymax 127 Maksutov Cassegrain OTA excels for high power Lunar and Planetary observations, double-star observations, as well as being suitable for terrestrial daytime observations. The Skymax-127 features a compact but extremely powerful, high-contrast, high-resolution diffraction-limited optical system. High-transmission multi-coatings are employed on all optical surfaces for optimum performance.
The new SupaTrak™ Auto-Tracking Alt-Azimuth Mount is a heavier-duty version of the standard Auto-Tracking mount, designed to carry heavier OTA’s. This mounting, with its built-in dual-axis multi-speed Servo motors is ideal for both Astronomical & Terrestrial use. In Astronomical mode, after following the simple set-up procedure, the mount is capable of tracking astronomical objects automatically. The fully motorised mount is convenient, practical, lightweight and easy to set-up and is ideal for both beginners and experienced users alike.
Supplied with FREE Compass!!
Review of Skymax-127 OTA
Optically, all the lenses are multicoated and the internal baffles had no shiny surfaces that could cause reflections of bright objects. The Focuser was quite smooth with very little image shift. The field was sharp across 80 percent of the view. We were pleased with the quality of the view even when pushing the telescope to higher magnifications. Mars and Saturn bore high magnifications well. The rings of Saturn appeared sharply defined Turning to the Moon, it was a revelation through the Skymax. This telescope certainly does a good job on the more detailed Solar System objects. In the deep sky, the Skymax performed well on everything to galaxies to nebulae
BBC Sky At Night Magazine
"The telescope is optically very good, giving clear, sharp images; a particularly strong point is the sturdiness of the mounting for the price, and the whole instrument is easy to use. Recommended to the serious amateur."
