Sky Watcher Skymax 127 MAK Wifi Astronomy Telescope with AZ-Go2 Mount

Sky Watcher Skymax 127 MAK Wifi Astronomy Telescope with AZ-Go2 Mount Description

Wirelessly manage the very portable Sky Watcher Skymax 127 MAK Wi-Fi Astronomy Telescope with AZ-GO2 Mount 10195, with the help of the free SynScan App for iOS or Android.

Features
Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design
Primary and secondary mirrors feature proprietary Radiant Aluminium Quartz (RAQ) coatings
Corrector plate featuring Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations
127mm aperture, 1500mm focal length, f/11.8 focal ratio
Aluminium tube coated with glossy, black diamond metal-flake finish
AZ-Go2 Wi-Fi Go-To Alt-Azimuth Mount

The AZ-Go2 mounting may be used anywhere without relying on other Wi-Fi or mobile networks because of its built-in Wi-Fi module, which establishes its own Wi-Fi network. You can use the App's user-friendly touchscreen menu to explore the cosmos after entering your coordinates and going through a quick alignment process. Full computerised GO-TO control is provided by the AZ-Go2 and SynScan App, enabling the telescope to be automatically swung to any of the 10,000+ astronomical objects in the App's enormous database.

The SKYMAX-127 telescope's small size and strength make it the perfect tool for studying multiple stars as well as the surface details of the Moon and brilliant planets. To enhance contrast and image sharpness, its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated.

The Skymax series, the top line of Maksutov-Cassegrains from Sky-Watcher, offers sharp, contrasty vistas with great levels of detail. Maksutovs are compact telescopes that provide astronomers with a big visual aperture, excellent contrast, and long focal length in a package that is generally regarded as providing clearer images than Schmidt-Cassegrains. These telescopes have focal lengths that are 5-7 times greater than the typical Newtonian or refractor telescope, which allows them to produce higher levels of planetary detail.

Mirrors used in Skymax Maksutovs are made of borosilicate, polished, and coated with our unique Radiant Aluminium Quartz (RAQ) coatings, which result in an astounding 94% reflectivity. To assist eliminate chromatic aberration, all Maksutovs employ a corrector plate. This plate is then coated with our patented Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), creating high-quality optics at a reasonable cost.
