Everything you need to know about the Maksutov Sky-Watcher 127mm f/11.8

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) .

All about the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi mount

To expand its range of mounts, Sky-Watcher offers a new model for glasses and telescope users interested in day or night observing... in GOTO (auto aiming). The AZ-GTi Wifi GOTO is therefore an altazimuth mount (the simplest, most comfortable and versatile system to use), motorized on 2 axes and equipped with its own Wi-Fi network . Thanks to your smartphone ( Google Android system either Apple iOS ) and the free SynScan App, you can easily control your mount wirelessly!

After entering the coordinates in the app and following the simple alignment procedure, you will be able to explore the Universe using your smartphone or tablet! It is not necessary to know the sky thanks to the database of more than 10,000 objects... and the help of Dual axis motorization will save you from having to manually compensate for the Earth's rotation . The AZ-GTi even allows you to use SkyWatcher Freedom-Find™ technology to move your instrument manually without losing positioning. You then have maximum freedom, choice and flexibility during your observations.

Thanks to a load capacity of 5 kg (with optional male Vixen dovetail) scopes up to 100/120 mm in diameter or 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain as well as small Newton scopes can be used (pay attention to the length of the tube in all 3 cases). The retractable aluminum tripod is easily transportable. It is a set (mount + tripod) perfect for the nomadic observer.
