This telescope offers an impressive combination of optics and precise control, suitable for beginners amateurs of astronomy.
Optics: Maksutov-Cassegrain design with aperture 127 mm and focal distance 1900 mm (f/15) providing high resolution and excellent detail of the planets and moon. Long focal distance allows calm planetary observations at large magnifications. At the same time the telescope is ideal for mobile use thanks to its short focus. tube.A powerful controller with Open GoTo customization. The core of the controller is fully self-contained 2-channel multiprocessor with 8 processors and Wi-Fi Ethernet 10/100 adapter with IP functionality. This configuration allows remote control via browser, ASCOM, application or serial connection. Open GoTo allows you to write and load customized a firmware in the controller that facilitates the individual settings of the functions of the device, as well as the creation of customized list of objects.The included pre-installed polar search engine allows quick and precise alignment and allows long exposure times without unwanted stellar traces. The integrated LED lighting block further improves the ease of use of the polar search engine.The ExploreStars application developed specifically for the PMC-Eight system offers an attractive and intuitive user interface. The application shows the stars for alignment available for initial setting and all celestial objects in the database as a star map with additional text information.Combined mobility: possibility to be used as a mass model (tablettop) thanks to its compact construction.127 mm aperture allows you to observe smaller planetary nebulaes in the vastness of the cosmos. You admire the bright threads of the famous Orion nebula or discover the Dumble Nebula in the Lysicka constellation. With the high quality solar filter you can safely admire sunspots, eclipses and planetary transits.
* Warning: Never point the telescope at the sun without a solar filter!
