Sky-Watcher Mak127 AZ-Go2 Telescope

Version without manual control - Built-in WiFi card

• Telescope to get started in Astronomy
• Ideal on planets, the Moon and for beginners in deep sky observation
• With motorized azimuthal mount for easy observation
• Automated Tracking and Signaling (GOTO)
• Easy to carry, light and compact.

The Mak127 from Sky-Watcher combines compactness and performance. Twice as bright as the Mak90, observing 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).

The SynScan Go-To Automatic Signaling System

This version of the AZ GOTO mount (without manual control) requires downloading the free SynScan app. You can then control your mount directly with your smartphone or tablet thanks to a Wifi card built into the mount. When tethering is enabled, you can control your mount from the SynScan app with the same functionality as your handheld controller.

To provide more user convenience, SkyWatcher has decided to equip part of its instrument range with a dual-axis motorized azimuth and a GOTO mount capable of rapid pointing and tracking. So there is no need to know the position of stars or distant stars in the deep sky, the SkyWatcher AZ-Go2 mount takes care of moving the instrument towards the target you want to observe. After calibration (setup), pointing the optical tube north, and leveling, select the mount alignment to one or two stars. More than 42,900 objects, including major catalogues, are registered in the database (Messier, NGC, IC, as well as planets, the Moon and the Sun).

For maximum convenience, the mount is quickly moved via buttons in the SynScan app on your smartphone or tablet. Easy to use, it helps quickly direct the instrument to any galaxy, nebula, cluster or object in the solar system. Discover in detail the famous Andromeda galaxy, the fabulous curtains that surround the heart of Orion, the Hercules cluster M13 and its heart rich in thousands of stars. Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon are also wonders to scrutinize without moderation.

The "Tour" function allows you to point the AZ-Go2 at the most interesting objects throughout an entire evening. Enjoy a guided sky tour of your viewing location based on the object presented in a drop-down list.

The ability to track (motorize) any object avoids systematic manual reviews. The object remains in the center of the field, so it becomes easier to discover details in particular on the planets. Thanks to a load capacity of approximately 5 kg, the Sky-Watcher Mak127 mm telescope is well supported and vibrations are quickly damped despite the presence of a single-arm fork. The fixation is carried out using a Vixen type male dovetail; The instrument is thus easily and quickly removable from the frame. Another interesting point in the long term, the mount is scalable: it can receive other instruments (telescopes, refractors) thanks to the presence of its tail support

You can also use the "Point-and-go" function, point your smartphone at a region of the sky... thanks to the SynScan app, the mount will move directly there. Updates will be constantly developed, in order to increase the functionality of the application. Control by PC over Wifi possible, ASCOM and EQMOD compatibility.
