“Great all-round package...We were pleased to see the stat Altair pin-sharp across 85% of the field of view, with only slight trailing off near the edges...On deep-sky objects, the dual-speed Crayford focuser allowed us to gain fine, crisp views; particularly noteworthy was the Dumbell Nebula M27. The wide field of view also produced fine vistas of the Andromeda Galaxy...The focuser’s 1.25” adaptor had a nice touch: a DSLR camera attachment for imaging. Overall this telescope packs a lot of punch...a complete setup with lovely crisp optics” BBC Sky At Night Magazine

"“The Skyliner-300P FlexTube AUTO is a delight to use...Now it has added auto-tracking motors to the FlexTube design, taking the Dobsonian on its next great leap forward...The Skyliner’s 1500mm of focal length collapses down to just under a metre thanks to its telescopically extending trusses, making it extremely portable for such a large instrument. We were impressed to find no collimation issues even after repeated setups...With its tracking motors we could take decent images of the Moon and planets, despite the fact that long exposure imaging has never been the domain of the Dobsonian in the past...The 10mm eyepiece revealed a very refined view indeed (of Epsilon Lyrae), clearly splitting the famed star into its four components...Saturn was also a beguiling sight...The deep sky was equally striking...Messier 13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules was stunning....Nebulae really benefitted from the Skyliner’s light grasp...Overall, the Skyliner put in a premier performance, but the real delight is its tracking, which keeps objects in view for pretty long periods of time...This gives you all the pleasures of viewing the night sky with a larger telescope without the drawbacks...Thoroughly recommended."

"The hand controller can slew the telescope to almost any position you wish to go to...The telescope is really nippy and yet, despite the size of the OTA it’s moving, it is remarkably quiet...The automatic mode has a unique and patented override, which allows you to manually move the telescope to a position and retain the tracking when you get there. This in practice works incredibly well...This truss tube literally just slides into position and locks down, saving a huge amount of set-up time...For Lunar and planetary imagers this is a fantastic system once collimated, taking quite extreme levels of magnification...Views of the Moon during the Spring Moonwatch week had neighbours and family members enthralled...The tracking kept Saturn in the eyepiece view of a 12mm Plossl for a good hour...Through a 40mm wide-field eyepiece, deep sky objects like M31, M51 and some of spring’s globular clusters were jaw-dropping with impressive detail...All in all this is a great grab and go set-up, with the light grasp of some of my largest telescopes, yet it can be assembled and disassembled with lightning speed, dropping down to a size that can be put in the corner of a room or garage and lifted by just one person."

Review of Skymax-127 OTA

“…Optically, all the lenses are multicoated and the internal baffles had no shiny surfaces that could cause reflections of bright objects…The Focuser was quite smooth with very little image shift…The field was sharp across 80 percent of the view…We were pleased with the quality of the view even when pushing the telescope to higher magnifications…Mars and Saturn bore high magnifications well…The rings of Saturn appeared sharply defined…Turning to the Moon, it was a revelation through the Skymax…This telescope certainly does a good job on the more detailed Solar System objects…In the deep sky, the Skymax performed well on everything to galaxies to nebulae” Sky At Night Magazine

Precision Computerised GO-TO Mount!!

“Compared to our own 250mm f/5 Newtonian reflector, the extra light gathered by the Explorer-300P was obvious. We got impressive views of a wide range of celestial objects. Galaxies such as M65 & M66 in Leo were wonderful, with strong hints of subtle detail along their spiral discs. The nearby galaxy NGC 3628 also stood out well. Nebulae shone against the background sky. M1, the Crab Nebula, showed varying degrees of mottling and scalloped edges – very satisfying indeed. The Orion Nebula, M42-43, was awash with nebulosity and we found we could easily get lost amongst the detail.. At its centre, the Trapezium group of stars sparkled and, at the highest magnifications , we spotted several of its fainter mag. +10 stars, even though the atmosphere wasn’t as steady as we would have liked for such high-magnification views. Detail Explosion: Late into the night we selected the globular cluster M13 from the hand-controller. As it swung into the field of view it was breathtaking, with swarms of stars looking like bees around a honey pot. The view was so good that we noticed a dark feature, commonly known as the Propeller, superimposed on one side of the cluster. It was easily the best view of the cluster we’ve ever had….For crystal clear views of deep space, this is hard to beat!”

EQ6 SYNTREK^TM
Deluxe Super Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount 

The new EQ6 SynTrek is effectively a hybrid of the standard EQ6 and the EQ6 PRO SynScan. It is basically a standard EQ6 but with a pre-installed PRO SynScan motherboard and stepper motors, and supplied with its own unique SynTrek hand-controller.
The SynTrek hand control is designed for the purpose of providing a simple slewing and tracking control. The small and versatile SynTrek hand control provides automatic tracking of celestial objects as soon as the power is turned on. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to many other functions the SynTrek has to offer.
The HEQ5 and EQ6 SynTrek mounts can be upgraded to computerized SynScan system by simply changing the hand control to SynScan hand control (prod.code 948). See HEQ5 and EQ6 Pro mounts for specifications for the mounts and details of the SynScan hand control.
