More about the series SkyMax...
This high-quality Maksutov telescope provides an ideal basis for both planetary and DSO observing.
Its diameter makes it a 'fast' yet portable instrument. The Maksutov-Cassegrain system allows a long focal length to be combined with a relatively short OTA length. The central obstruction in the optics is minimal as the small secondary mirror has been directly vacuum deposited onto the meniscus lens. The meniscus lens gives very good contrast - for example ideal for planetary observing. The lens corrects for spherical aberration and its shape reduces chromatic aberration to a minimum. It comes supplied with a mounting plate.
The Fusion-120i mount from Sky-Watcher is an alt-azimuth single-arm mount with GoTo functionality. This means that selected celestial objects are automatically tracked and kept in the field of view with the motors.
The mount can be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or tablet using the free SynScan or SynScan PRO apps for iOS or Android. The Fusion-120i has an integrated WiFi module and creates its own WiFi network, so the mount can be used anywhere without relying on other WiFi or mobile networks.
After entering your coordinates into the app and performing a simple alignment procedure, you can explore the universe using the app's intuitive touchscreen menu from an extensive database of celestial objects.
It can also be controlled via Bluetooth or with the included SynScan handset with a database of over 42,900 objects.
The Fusion-120i is easy to carry with its integrated carrying handle, yet has a considerable payload capacity of 12 kg.
The Dual-Fit saddle allows connection to standard sizes of prism rails commonly found on telescopes.
The mount's power supply is versatile and can be provided either by the internal lithium-ion battery or an external 12 V 3 A DC power supply (not included).
