If you're already familiar with the SVBONY MK90 and SVBONY MK105, then you know how well these Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes deliver stunning views of the night sky. But now, there's a new member in the lineup - the SVBONY MK127. If you're on the hunt for a telescope that can give you those jaw-dropping views of the Moon's craters and the detailed surface of planets without breaking the bank, then say hello to the SVBONY MK127 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope!
First up, the 127mm aperture. That's a fancy way of saying this telescope can gather a LOT of light. More light = brighter, sharper images. So, if you've ever wanted to see the Moon in its glory (and let's face it, who doesn't?), this telescope delivers. You'll even spot planetary details you never knew existed. It's like upgrading from a flip phone to the latest smartphone - everything looks better.
Coarse adjustment knob, enables rapid movement of the optical system to achieve a rough focus. Fine adjustment knob is used for minute adjustments to obtain optimal image clarity, enhancing your viewing experience.
The telescope features a 3-mirror Mak structure with a separate secondary mirror, utilizing Maksutov-Cassegrain optics.The mirror reflectivity over 99%, which significantly enhances contrast, you can get the detailed views of planetary nebulae and globular clusters.
Ever noticed that some telescopes give you a nice sharp center but the edges of the image look blurry? Not with the SVBONY MK127. Thanks to its flat-field design, your images will stay sharp across the entire field of view. So when you're scanning the Moon or planets, you won't miss out on those fine details at the edges.
The 0.65x reducer combination expands the telescope's imaging field, making it right for capturing expansive skyscapes.
