## Description

Skywatcher Skymax 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope : desertcart.ae: Fashion

Review: Very good finder and 2 » eyepiece and diagonal - Wish there is a version with a nice GOTO Mount
Review: Needed a long focal length scope to complement my "short" scope. Short scope is great for nebulas, etc, but too wide for closeup planetary or lunar viewing/photography. This scope at 1300 mm FL, altho not too wide in aperture, is a great scope for planetary viewing and is easy to carry around. Saturn & jupiter pics were shot with it the day (night!) it arrived! Recommended.

## Features

- EXPERTLY MATCHED OPTICS: The Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tubes features matched primary and secondary mirrors with an expertly coated corrector plate that delivers contrast-rich views with charcoal-black skies.
- 94% REFLECTIVITY MIRROR COATINGS: Using a borosilicate primary mirror with an aluminum coating and a quartz overcoat, Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrains produce a 94% reflectivity rating that delivers crisp, sharp detail.
- VIXEN-STYLE DOVETAIL: An industry standard, the Vixen-style dovetail is the most commonly used dovetail plate for astronomy. In addition to this, all Maksutov-Cassegrains come with a ¼-20 tripod thread under each dovetail bar, allowing users to mount to most photographic tripods.
- FULLY BAFFLED TUBE: Utilizing a fully-baffled tube, Sky-Watcher Maksutovs prevent stray light from interfering with your viewing experience.
- EVERYTHING YOU NEED: The 127mm Skymax Maksutov-Cassegrain comes equipped with everything you need to get started, including: a 28mm 2-inch eyepiece, 2-inch 90-degree star diagonal, and a 6x30 straight-through finderscope.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Se pueden ver galaxias, nebulosas etc?**
A: You can see galaxies and nebulae with the 102, although there won't be a lot of detail. Maksutov-Cassegrains of this aperture are suited better to planetary and lunar viewing. For what you're asking about, larger apertures (150mm, for example) would be better.

**Q: I'm extremely new to everything astronomy, but if i were to get this telescope, what additional items would i need for astrophotography?**
A: If astrophotography is your main goal a Maksutov telescope such as this would not be the best choice unless your interest is moon. Please contact our support department at 310-803-5966. They will be able to assist you with finding the best arrangement.

**Q: The add says both the item and shipping weight are the same- 23 pounds. What is the actual weight of the tube (i.e. requred mount capacity)?  Thanks!**
A: If anyone is still wondering, I just weighed mine (180mm) and the OTA alone (without finderscope or eyepiece and diagonal) is 17 pounds.

**Q: Photo shows side of ota says schotts optical glass. does this scope purchased thru amazon have this logo on the ota?**
A: No, mine does not say schotte optical glass.  It still performs nicely, but I was very angry when I realized this is a bait n switch product

*by R***A on 12 June 2025*

Ottimo telescopio perfetto anche per uso in terrestre. Potente, sufficientemente luminoso ed estremamente nitido. Ottimo telescopio, costruito interamente in metallo e con una buona dotazione di base. Compatto e non troppo pesante, è facilmente trasportabile. Gli oculari forniti a corredo sono già validi per iniziare. Il cercatore di tipo red dot funziona bene ma è di scarsa qualità. Buono il prisma raddrizzatore. Mi ha soddisfatto al 100%
