SKYMAX 127 MAKSUTOV - EQ3 SYNSCAN
SKYMAX 127 OPTICAL TUBE
The Skymax 127 is a compact and poweful telescope for planetary and deep-sky observing, but it can also be used very well for daytime viewing and photography. With 127 mm aperture, the telescope gathers over 60% more light than a refractor with 100 mm aperture. At the same time, it is still very portable. The tube is only 330 mm long, despite the remarkable focal length of 1500 mm. It can easily be carried by compact equatorial and alt-azimuth mounts.
