Sky-Watcher SkyMax-127 EQ3 Pro SynScan: The Portable GoTo Planetarium<\/h2>\n

The well-known 127\/1500 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain (f\/11.8) on the computerized EQ3 Pro SynScan mount. The tube is 33 cm long and weighs 3.4 kg, making this the most portable equatorial GoTo set in the Maksutov line: automatic searching and tracking of over 42,900 objects, in a package that simply fits in the car.<\/p>\n

What do you see through the SkyMax-127?<\/h2>\n

Bands of clouds on Jupiter with structure within, the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings, polar ice caps on Mars, and a moon worth a walk at 150x magnification. Double stars and bright, compact deep-sky objects like globular clusters complete the program. With automatic tracking, all of this stays in view.<\/p>\n

EQ3 Pro: Equatorial GoTo in a lightweight form<\/h2>\n

The EQ3 Pro is Sky-Watcher's lightest SynScan GoTo mount, and it's a perfect match for this compact telescope tube. Once aligned with Polaris, the mount tracks precisely, and the hand controller guides you to celestial highlights. It's also suitable as a first step into short lunar and planetary imaging.<\/p>\n

This is how to get the most out of this telescope<\/h2>\n
