Sky-Watcher 127 Virtuoso GTI Maksutov Dobsonian Telescope
The Sky-Watcher VIRTUOSO GTi 127/1500 Maksutov-Cassegrain Tabletop Dobsonian is a fully automatic telescope ideal for beginners and those who want to get straight to observing. Aligning the mount takes mere minutes with the “Bright Object” alignment mode, and the computerised SynScan system is the ultimate upgrade that allows automatic pointing and tracking of more than 42,000 objects in the sky! This means less time spent finding a faint nebula or a distant planet and more time to enjoy observing. Astronomy has never been so easy!
The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The optical tube is closed by the front meniscus, keeping the mirrors protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust, and pollution. The tube is short but the focal length is long, allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces. With a maximum practical magnification of 256x, this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.
The VIRTUOSO GTi Dobsonian Mount is WiFi-controllable with iOS and Android and compatible with the SynScan hand controller, allowing for smooth tracking and alignment. Use WiFi to control the telescope wirelessly with your mobile device, smartphone, or tablet.
