Orion Apex 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope

Orion Apex Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope

The Orion Apex Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope 127mm is a compact and powerful telescope for planetary and deep sky observations. However, the telescope can also be used very well for daytime observations and photography. With 127 mm aperture, the telescope already collects over 60% more light than a refractor with 100 mm aperture. The telescope is still very portable. It is well supported by compact parallactic and azimuthal mounts.

The Orion Apex Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is universally applicable

Astronomical Observations: The Maksutov performs very well with the moon and planets, due to the sharp, high contrast optics. However, 127 mm aperture also gathers enough light to capture faint nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies."]

Scope for Nature Observations: Even underground, the Maksutov shows a sharp and high-contrast image. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts who value a bright image at higher magnification in particular will be delighted with this Maksutov telescope.

Photography: The Maksutov comes with an integrated T2 port that allows you to connect cameras. This gives you a powerful extreme telephoto lens with 1540 mm focal length at a fixed aperture of f/12.1 at your disposal.
