Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127T Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope High-Performance Compact Telescope for Lunar, Planetary, and Deep-Sky Observation

The Sky-Watcher SKYMAX-127T is a premium-quality Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope, ideal for serious beginners and experienced astronomers seeking powerful performance in a compact, portable design. With its large 127mm (5-inch) aperture and long focal length, this telescope is designed to deliver exceptionally sharp, high-contrast views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and even brighter deep-sky objects.

Whether you’re observing Saturns rings, Jupiters cloud bands, the lunar surface in rich detail, or venturing into the deep sky to explore nebulae and galaxies, the SKYMAX-127T provides remarkable clarity and precision with minimal chromatic aberration.

127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics for Precision Viewing

At the heart of the SKYMAX-127T is a 127mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system, known for its long focal length, compact size, and excellent optical performance. The closed-tube design reduces thermal currents and protects optics from dust and moisture, while the long focal ratio (f/11.8) makes it ideal for high-magnification planetary and lunar viewing.

Compact and Portable for Travel or Backyard Use

Despite its powerful optics, the SKYMAX-127T is remarkably compact and lightweight, making it perfect for users who want a high-powered telescope thats easy to transport. Whether you’re setting up in your backyard or traveling to dark-sky sites, this telescope is easy to store, carry, and mountmaking it an excellent choice for urban astronomers and astrophotographers alike.

High-Quality Optical Coatings for Bright, Sharp Images

The telescopes fully multi-coated optics enhance light transmission and reduce glare, resulting in bright, clear, and high-contrast images. These coatings are especially important when observing fine planetary detail or fainter deep-sky objects.

Versatile Viewing with Star Diagonal and Eyepiece Compatibility

The SKYMAX-127T is compatible with standard 1.25″ star diagonals and eyepieces, giving users a wide range of options to suit their observational needs. Whether you prefer wide-field views or high-magnification close-ups, this telescope adapts to your preferred accessories.

Ideal for Visual Astronomy and Astrophotography

Thanks to its stable optics, long focal length, and ability to focus precisely, the SKYMAX-127T is well-suited not just for visual astronomy but also for basic planetary and lunar astrophotography. When paired with a suitable tracking mount and camera, users can capture stunning images of celestial targets.

Perfect For:

• Lunar and planetary observation (Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn)

• Bright deep-sky objects such as star clusters and nebulae

• Amateur astrophotography

• Stargazing from light-polluted or urban areas

• Beginners seeking an upgrade and intermediate users
