SkyWatcher Skymax-127 Maksutov-Cassegrain (127/1500) on AZ-Go2 mount

The SkyWatcher SkyMax 127 MC  is a really compact sized model which shows great details on planets. The short tube makes easy to transport. This telescope has 127 mm aperture, which is more powerful than the 90 mm or 102 mm models. The central obstruction is 30% only, resulting in contrasty image even at high magnifications. Compared to similar aperture telescopes (eg. Explorer 130 models) this Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is much shorter meaning that it is easier to transport, however the central obstruction makes the image a bit less contrasty. The recommended magnification range is 37.5x-260x and provides sharp images on Moon and planets. Dovetail plate is included but there's a standard photo thread at the bottom of the scope as well. The two eyepieces provided deliver 60x and 150x magnification. A Starpointer or an achromatic 6x30 spring load finderscope is included (depending on the model). The focuser has a T-thread making it possible to mount cameras as well.

The AZ-Go2 mount has integrated WiFi (creates it's own WiFi network, independent of other WiFi or mobile networks) so can be controlled wirelessly using your Smartphone or Tablet, via the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu. The App provides full computerised GO-TO control, enabling the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.
