Skywatcher Skymax 127 head count.

[MikeWilson]

its the synscan with goto mount

Since you bought it new, it should probably go back to the retailer/OVL. Having said that, might it simply be the cable?

All the best,

Mike

I'm on my third! Love it!

i've had an eq-3 and a supatrak, now about to purchase an AZ GOTO. Brilliant all rounder, affordable and very portable too.

Hello,

It ´s best that the Celestron 127 SLT nmodel? or is the same telescope and same mount?

thanks

[jimmyjamjoejoe]

I want one so bad

[deebster]

Had mine 3 weeks now, thanks to a member here and as of yesterday the sadly-departed buy and sell section. Just joined the group too.

It's a very nice bit of kit and easy to use for a beginner like me.

Finally got clear enough skies to point it at Jupiter last week and ended up losing myself a bit, this being the first time I'd ever looked through a real telescope

Now bring on Saturn...

[gcraib]

Me too, great scope.

Hi

I have the little brother Skymax 102 (AltAZ go to). I Love it both  visual planetary and imaging planets (and in case seeing is not that great -which is basically most of the time, it performs basically not much less than the C8 for planets as the skymax is simpler, lighter, more compact, no maintenance at all -never needed to collimate the skymax and pint point sharp always-). And as mentioned in bad seeing, no really big differences on the planets between the 2. This was my 1 st scope which pull me me into the hobby (to go into buying the C8 for example and maybe later on I will go for an APO) and will ever leave it for sure!

I have a 127 as well. Not bad little scope. Field of vision a bit tight though.

Just got a NexStar 127SLT a few weeks ago.  First one had to go back because of a bad azimuth motor, but the second one is working brilliantly so far.  I love, love, love this scope!

Used to have the Orion Apex 127, same thing really just a different paint job. Sold it a few years ago, regretted it almost immediately, so bought a Skymax 180

I sold a 180 skymax and regretted it, but it was the right decision

[knobby]

Mine evolved to a C8 edge though [emoji3]

Scottydog...the easiest way to find your coordinates is to use google earth and put the mouse pointer on  your house..the lat and long will appear at the bottom of the screen....two star auto align is better....

[gary777]

I have the 102 only because I lift the 127. Bad back...

[gary777]

Make that Can't Lift. Is there way to edit a post or reply?

[nightfisher]

Had my 127 mak out tonight for a bit of Jupiter viewing............have to say very impressed as i gave it time to cool. It gave rather pleasant views for its size

[bish]

Nice scope. I bought a white light filter for it too.
