Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope

High resolution and fully automatic control
The Sky-Watcher SkyMax 127 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope offers the impressive optical quality of a Maksutov-Cassegrain combined with the simplicity of a computer-controlled mount. This compact telescope with 127 mm aperture and 1500 mm focal length delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast images perfect for those who want to see the Moon, planets and binary stars in detail without complex alignment.

Powerful optics for planet and moon photography

The long focal length of f/12 makes the SkyMax 127 particularly suitable for high magnifications. This allows you to see the cloud bands and shadows on Jupiter, the Cassini line in the rings of Saturn, and the ice caps on Mars with striking brightness. The Moon also becomes a spectacle of fine shadow structures and sharply defined craters.

Although the SkyMax 127 excels primarily in planetary observation, with the right conditions you can also bright deep-sky objects such as observing the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Nebula and the Pleiades. The closed-tube construction keeps the optics well protected from dust and temperature changes, ensuring stable, high-contrast images.

Smart WiFi mount with SynScan GoTo

The included AZ-GTi mount takes ease of use to the next level. With built-in WiFi, you connect the telescope directly to the SynScan app (iOS or Android) on your smartphone or tablet. So you choose from more than 10,000 celestial objects, the mount searches and tracks them automatically.

The alt-azimuth setup means you don't have to do any complex polar alignment; the telescope moves smoothly in elevation and direction. So it's perfect for quick sessions in the backyard or during vacations. The quiet motors track objects accurately, keeping them neatly in focus even at high magnifications.
