Description

Sky-Watcher 127mm/1500mm Skymax 127 Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA

The Sky-Watcher 127/1500 Skymax 127 Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. As the optical tube is closed by the meniscus, the mirrors are protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust and pollution that over the years degrade the reflective coating of the mirrors. The tube is compact but the focal length is  long allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces.  The resolution power gives the ability to distinguish the main planets details such as the rings of Saturn, the band and the moons of Jupiter.

Features:

  • Compact dimensions, ideal for transportation
  • Practical main mirror focusing mechanism
  • Universal accessory adaptation
  • High contrast image without distracting false colour
  • Quick release system for the tube
  • Impressive viewing capabilities for its price range
  • 5 years Sky-Watcher limited warranty

Superb Imaging power
The 127mm aperture provides enough light gathering power to view the most popular celestial bodies and messier catalogue objects. It is designed to produce high contrast images with minimal chromatic aberrations. This imaging power comes at a price that is well within the range of most enthusiasts.

Portable and Easy to Setup
The compact dimensions of this optical tube assembly makes it easy to carry around. It’s designed for easy assembly and disassembly with its quick release system. It also allows you to easily perform minor tube adjustments to suit your current environment. Bring it along with you to your favourite viewing locations.

Durable Construction
The lightweight aluminium tube is expertly designed to support the internal optical components and keep images sharply in focus while in use.

Where we, people, like to spend our vacations. No doubt, it's really relaxing and nice to listening to the waves and laying on the hot sand. But what if this experience would be connected with observing a meteor shower? Definitely, that sounds even more epic! This is what I felt like this August. I with my friends Petr Horalek and Josef Kujal have captured meteors from the Perseids with such a nice atmosphere. Finally, up to 232 meteors were captured during 5 clear nights around its maximum. I registered them into the panoramic background image from the same beach. As the another "dust" meaning You can see a zodiacal light across the sky and gegenschein between Jupiter and Saturn. A consequence of interplanetary dust reflecting the sunlight.

✨ Sky-Watcher Australia is pleased to introduce John Rutter as our newest ambassador. ✨ John Rutter is an award winning landscape astrophotographer from the Hunter Valley region of NSW.“After seeing my Milky Way image on the computer in 2016 I was blown away but I wanted more. More resolution, cleaner and sharper images and this led me down the path of utilising tracking mounts.”John is known for travelling to remote locations, using tracking mounts and long focal lengths to create high resolution, multirow mosaic images of the Milky Way.John shares his techniques and experience through workshops and on his YouTube channel.@johnrutterphotography
