Description
Explore high-power planetary details and split tight binary stars with the Skywatcher MC 180/2700 SkyMax 180 EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo computerized Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope system. Designed with an f/15.0 focal ratio, this 180mm (7.09 in) aperture telescope features a 2700mm focal length, delivering 0.64 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 14.0 for planetary research.
The Skywatcher MC 180/2700 SkyMax 180 EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo features an air-spaced catadioptric design combining a low-expansion borosilicate primary mirror with a Schott optical glass meniscus corrector treated with 99.5% MHTC coatings. Its 570mm aluminum tube features an internal primary mirror micro-focusing mechanism, a 2-inch visual back, and a small 24.4% secondary obstruction. Mounted on an EQ5 Pro GoTo equatorial mount with a tubular stainless steel tripod, the 7.80 kg OTA ensures rock-solid tracking.
Key Features of Skywatcher MC 180/2700 SkyMax 180 EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo
Built for high-power planetary observation, automated small-target GoTo tracking, and binary star resolution, this 7-inch Sky-Watcher SkyMax Pro Maksutov pairs a massive 2700mm focal length with an EQ5 Pro GoTo mount. Its 2-inch visual back and SynScan V5 controller deliver razor-sharp, color-pure planetary views.

- Maksutov-Cassegrain design with Schott optical glass corrector and borosilicate primary
- Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) delivering 99.5% optical transmission
- Minimal 24.4% secondary obstruction by diameter (44mm secondary baffle, 6.0% by area)
- Internal primary mirror focus mechanism with 2-inch visual back and 1.25-inch adapter
- EQ5 Pro SynScan computerized German equatorial GoTo mount with stepper motors
- SynScan V5 hand controller with a 42,000+ celestial object navigation database
- Tubular stainless steel tripod with two counterweights and 9×50 finderscope included
7-Inch Schott Glass Optics & 0.64 Arcsecond Resolution
The 180mm Schott glass meniscus corrector and borosilicate primary mirror eliminate chromatic aberration, while the small 24.4% secondary obstruction maximizes visual contrast on fine lunar rilles and planetary disks. This flagship Sky-Watcher Maksutov supports magnifications from 25.7x up to 360x.
EQ5 Pro SynScan GoTo Mount & Stainless Steel Tripod
High-magnification planetary tracking at 2700mm focal length requires smooth, automated mechanics. The Sky-Watcher SkyMax 180 includes an EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with quiet stepper motors and a SynScan V5 controller for accurate GoTo navigation. Supported by a tubular stainless steel tripod, it dampens vibrations effectively during long observing sessions.
- Computerized EQ5 Pro equatorial mount with SynScan V5 automated hand controller
- 9×50 optical finderscope for clear visual alignment and wide-field target verification
- 2-inch star diagonal with 1.25-inch adapter paired with a 28mm 2-inch LET eyepiece
