Skywatcher Skymax 127 AZGTI - Maksutov

The Skymax 127 Maksutov telescope uses a 127mm diameter Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system which, compared to other configurations (like Newtonians), is more compact and suitable for high-magnification observation or photography of planets and the Moon.

SkyMax Maksutov optical tube (Schott Optical Glass), 127mm diameter, 1500mm focal length (f/11.8), 25mm (60x) and 10mm (150x) eyepieces with 31.8mm diameter, 31.8mm mirror diagonal, Starpointer finder scope, photographic tripod attachment and 45mm dovetail bar (EQ5 type).

With a weight of only 1.3kg and dimensions of 14cm*9cm*14cm, the new AZ-GTI is the ultimate Wi-Fi GOTO motorized mount for those who have always wanted a stable, lightweight, and compact support to take with them in the constant search for dark skies far from light pollution, without sacrificing the convenience of motorized Wi-Fi automatic pointing.

The dual encoders mounted on the axes will allow you to perform manual pointing of objects while always knowing the coordinates of the portion of the sky you are observing, which is ideal for night sky explorers who love to scan and explore the depths of the sky without being tied to motors and clutches.

For those who wish to control their camera directly from their smartphone, a SNAP input is available (optional cable required). Executing series of shots, time-lapses, etc., will no longer be a problem.

Controllable entirely via Wi-Fi and the SynScan App, available for free in the respective stores for iOS and Android devices, you will have all the power and features of the SynScan GoTo hand controllers incorporated into your smartphone: less bulk, greater ease of use, and always up-to-date maps and ephemerides. Perform a quick one, two, or three-star alignment and you will have over 40,000 objects to point at automatically and with high precision. Simply power the mount at 12V with batteries or external power supplies, perform a simple alignment, and the DC Servo motors with a tracking precision of 0.625" will keep the objects you are observing—whether star clusters, galaxies, the Moon, or planets—always in the center of your telescope's field of view. You will no longer have to worry about micrometric motions; your Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI mount will guarantee you literally unforgettable nights of observation.
