Description

Combining an expansive 1500mm focal length with automated equatorial tracking, the Skywatcher MC 127/1500 SkyMax 127 EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope delivers 0.91 arcseconds Dawes resolving power. Designed with an f/11.8 focal ratio, this 127mm (5.00 in) aperture instrument reaches magnitude 13.2 for automated planetary video imaging and high-contrast double star measurement.

The Skywatcher MC 127/1500 SkyMax 127 EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo utilizes an MHTC multi-coated BK7 meniscus corrector lens and a low-expansion borosilicate primary mirror. Its 370mm aluminum tube features an internal primary mirror focus mechanism and a 44mm Vixen-style dovetail bar. Mounted on an EQ3 Pro computerized GoTo equatorial mount with stepper motors and a tubular steel tripod, the 3.45 kg (7.61 lbs) OTA ensures high-precision tracking across solar system targets.

Key Features of Skywatcher MC 127/1500 SkyMax 127 EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo

Built for automated equatorial planetary tracking and high-resolution lunar video imaging, this 127mm Sky-Watcher SkyMax Maksutov pairs folded catadioptric optics with an EQ3 Pro GoTo mount. Its SynScan V5 hand controller and tubular steel tripod provide rock-solid stability during extended imaging sessions.

  • 127mm (5.00 in) clear aperture with 1500mm focal length and long f/11.8 focal ratio
  • Maksutov-Cassegrain design with BK7 meniscus corrector and borosilicate primary
  • Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) for maximum optical throughput
  • 30.7% secondary obstruction by diameter (39mm secondary baffle, 9.4% by area)
  • Internal primary mirror focus mechanism with precision rubberized adjustment knob
  • EQ3 Pro SynScan computerized German equatorial GoTo mount with stepper motors
  • SynScan V5 hand controller with a 42,000+ celestial object navigation database
  • Tubular steel tripod, counterweights, 6×30 finderscope, 90-degree diagonal, and eyepieces included

Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics & Automated Equatorial Tracking

The folded catadioptric optical system packs a 1500mm focal length into a 370mm tube, eliminating chromatic aberration across planetary disks and fine lunar topography. Supported by quiet stepper motors and SynScan GoTo tracking, this Sky-Watcher telescope supports magnifications from 18.1x up to 254x.

EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount & Tubular Steel Tripod

Automated tracking precision is essential for high-magnification planetary video imaging. The Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 includes an EQ3 Pro equatorial mount with internal stepper motors and a SynScan V5 controller for accurate GoTo navigation. Supported by a tubular steel tripod, it provides exceptional tracking uniformity and vibration dampening.

  • Computerized EQ3 Pro equatorial mount with SynScan V5 automated hand controller
  • 6×30 optical finderscope for clear visual alignment and wide-field target verification
  • 1.25-inch 90-degree star diagonal paired with Super 25mm and 10mm eyepieces

Sky-Watcher SkyMax Black Diamond Warranty

The Skywatcher MC 127/1500 SkyMax 127 EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo telescope is backed by a 2-year limited warranty against material and manufacturing defects. The complete factory package contains the 127mm Maksutov OTA, EQ3 Pro mount head, SynScan V5 controller, steel tripod, counterweights, 6×30 finderscope, 90-degree diagonal, and two eyepieces.
