SkyWatcher 150/1800mm Maksutov-Cassegrain SkyWatcher tube

Maksutov-Cassegrain catadioptric optical tubes have always stood out for their enormous contrast and magnification power. In addition, because their optical system is based on integrated mirrors, Maksutov-Cassegrain tubes are free of any kind of chromatic aberration. This makes them an ideal alternative to the classic achromatic refractors as they improve them in terms of chromaticism.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the SKYWATCHER Maksutov-Cassegrain model presented here has a Maksutov corrector plate made of the highest quality glass. The result is undoubtedly a guarantee of success.

Everything you need to know about the Sky-Watcher Fusion-120i Equatorial Mount

Sky-Watcher offers a versatile mount: the Fusion 120i, to meet the varying needs of amateur astronomers and nature lovers. Another important feature is that it can be controlled by your smartphone using the included WiFi mode as standard. All you have to do is download the free SynScan Pro app to control your Sky-Watcher mount.

For Astronomy, it behaves like a classic azimuthal GoTo mount; that is, it has 2 motors and encoders that will take you wherever you want to go in the celestial vault! After retrieving the GPS coordinates of your observation location (via your smartphone or Google Earth, for example) and following the simple alignment procedure, you can explore the Universe using your smartphone or tablet! You don't even need to know the sky, thanks to a database of more than 42,900 objects. After targeting a planet, the Moon or a deep sky object (nebula, galaxy, cluster, etc.), it compensates for the Earth's rotation with precise tracking.

With a high load capacity of 12 kg, higher than many altazimuth mounts, you can use scopes up to 150 mm diameter, Maksutov-Cassegrain scopes up to 180 mm and Newton scopes up to 200 mm (note the tube length in all 3 cases). The retractable steel tripod is easy to transport. Another great advantage is its 10-hour autonomy... thanks to its rechargeable battery.
