SkyWatcher Skymax 127 Telescope with EQ3-2 Mount Description

The Sky-Watcher Skymax-127 Telescope with EQ3-2 Mount employs super-high contrast optical systems, utilising high-transmission multi-coatings on all optical services for optimum optical performance. The quality of each telescope is monitored by means of a Ronchi test and an artificial star test. No effort is spared to reach optimal optical quality

The sturdy EQ3-2 mount offers precision and stability along with a host of other features for the serious astronomer. The mount rests firmly on a large, adjustable aluminium tripod with accessory tray. A bubble level allows for quick and accurate levelling. Slow-motion control knobs allow for continuous manual tracking of celestial objects. The precision mount features full 360 deg worm-gear tracking controls on both R.A. and DEC. axes. Dual metal setting circle dials allow quick location of target using celestial coordinates. An optional polarscope is available for aiding in polar alignment. Optional single-axis and dual-axis D.C. motor drives can be installed for auto-tracking purposes.
