- Model: Orion Apex 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope
Review Orion Apex 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope / Orion:When it comes to telescopes, bigger is better, and you can do no better than the Apex 127 Compact Mak. Its 127mm (5")-diameter optics collects 55% more light through its multi-coated, 5" meniscus lens than that of a 4" scope, putting it in the big leagues for astronomical observing and advanced nature study. But big doesn't mean bulky! Even with a focal length of 1540mm (f/12. 1), the Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design reduces the tube length to just 15"! The Apex 127 couples to any sturdy equatorial mount or photo-style tripod. T-threads on the eyepiece adapter also allow attachment of a 35mm camera body (with optional T-ring). The classy Apex 127 comes standard with a 6x26 achromatic finder scope, a 45-degree correct-image prism diagonal, and fully padded case. One-year limited warranty. |
