Ideal on planets, the Moon and for beginners in deep sky observation
Quality optics.Very sharp, sharp, high contrast image.
Easy to carry, light and compact.
The Mak127 from Sky-Watcher combines compactness and performance.Twice as bright as Mak90, the observation of deep sky objects becomes more evident.In planetarium, the highest resolution allows you to start taking images with good results.The primary mirror, combined with the secondary mirror and a multi-layer treated concave meniscus, thus gives surprising results.The observation of Saturn, accompanied by its rings, is fantastic.Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, reveals fine details of its atmosphere.
The Moon is a wonder that you can contemplate for years, since the number of craters that dot its surface is very important.There is no chromaticism, unlike achromatic glasses.The tube is very compact and the assembly is easily transportable.Complemented by long focal length eyepieces, observing the brightest deep sky objects, such as the Great Orion Nebula (M42), the Hercules Cluster (M13) or the Perseus Double Cluster, will satisfy both the beginner and the amateur. curious.Under a very dark sky other objects (those in the Messier catalog in particular) can be easily distinguished.
Focusing, a key element to obtain quality images, is carried out by translating the primary mirror to provide sufficient focusing travel with numerous accessories.Warming up (especially cooling of the meniscus) is rapid (much less than 30 min).
