Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 AZ-Go2 GoTo Telescope

Want your telescope to automatically locate the moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects? Then the Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 AZ-Go2 GoTo Telescope is your ideal entry into GoTo astronomy. This system combines a compact Maksutov telescope with a fully automatic mount that you easily control via an app on your smartphone or tablet.

The 127 mm aperture and long 1500 mm focal length provide sharp, high-contrast images of the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. Thanks to its closed design, this telescope requires minimal maintenance, and its short length (just 28 cm) makes it easy to transport to dark observation sites.

With the free SynScan app, you simply select an object in the sky, and the telescope automatically points to it. The AZ-Go2 mount also tracks the object precisely while you observe — ideal for long sessions without frustration.

What can you see?

✓ Moon: sharp views of craters, lunar seas, and terminator zones
✓ Jupiter: four moons, cloud bands, shadow transits
✓ Saturn: rings and sometimes the Cassini Division
