Combining the superb 127mm aperture Maksutov Cassegrain optics and the feature packed AZ5 alt-az mount with precise slow motion controls results in a fast setup premium system for visual observers. The compact but powerful Skymax-127 is ideal for the observation of double-stars, and the surface detail of the Moon and planets. Its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness. The supplied erect image diagonal provides an upright, fully corrected image allowing the telescope to be also used for terrestrial observing. The elegant, well engineered and easy to use AZ5 Deluxe Alt-Azimuth mount provides excellent stability and precise control, via its slow motion cables, on both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes.A superb optical system that shows excellent planetary detail, a compact package that is fast to setup and simple to use.Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) Mirror CoatingPrimary mirror and secondary mirror with Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coating providing up to 94% reflectivity with optimal durability and long term performance.
