Sky-Watcher Skymax 127 Optical Tube Assembly (OTA)
A great Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. These telescopes are ideal for Planetary, Lunar, Solar (With additional filter) and Multiple star systems. Maksutov-Cassegrain is an extremely compact design and rarely if ever needs collimation provided the telescope is not severely mistreated.
NOTE: This telescope does NOT have a finderscope with it.
